One of the most sought-after areas of the city, the Chicago neighborhood of Lakeview is the most populated area in the Midwest largely due to its great dining, shopping, and nightlife. Its four-mile proximity to the Loop makes it a prime real estate destination. Lakeview is one of the 77 community areas of Chicago, located on the city's North Side.
