Questions About Lake View
Where is Lake View and how do you get downtown?
Lake View runs from Diversey north to Irving Park Road and from the lake west to Ashland, about four miles north of the Loop. The Brown Line stops at Diversey, Wellington, Belmont, Southport, Paulina and Addison, the Red Line at Belmont, Addison and Sheridan, and the Purple Line Express adds rush-hour service, so most of the neighborhood is 20 to 25 minutes from downtown.
What kinds of homes are in Lake View?
Lake View is mostly vintage condos in three-flats and courtyard buildings, two-flats and greystones, and single-family homes on the tree-lined side streets around the Southport corridor, with new-construction condos and homes replacing older stock every year. That spread of price points is why it is the classic first move for a household outgrowing a downtown condo.
Which schools serve Lake View?
Lake View is served by Chicago Public Schools, with neighborhood elementary schools such as Burley, Blaine and Nettelhorst and Lake View High School, plus Hawthorne Scholastic Academy as a magnet. Elementary attendance is by address and the boundaries are tight, so the CPS school locator for a specific address is the first thing to check.
What is the ZIP code for Lake View?
Lake View, Chicago spans two ZIP codes: 60657 and 60613.
