Over the past few years, West Lakeview has become the refuge for many people who fled the high prices of Lincoln Park.
Lakeview has a diverse population with many young professionals who enjoy its easy access to Lake Michigan. Lakeview is also home to the famous Chicago Cubs in its Wrigleyville neighborhood.
