Score Breakdown

About this Neighborhood

Lakeview East sits in Lake View, one of Chicago's 77 community areas on the North Side, bordered by Diversey Parkway, Irving Park Road, Ravenswood Avenue, and the Lake Michigan shore, and the second-largest community area in the city by population. The snapshot counts 81 restaurants and 18 coffee shops, both averaging 4.8, plus 8 grocery stores, 6 parks, and 6 fitness locations. The practical numbers are strong across the board. Walk Score is 97, median rent is $1,690, air quality reads at an AQI of 48, and the area is not in a flood zone and scores at the top of the climate resilience range. Yelp rates it 4.8 across 5,274 reviews, led by The Crepe Shop, The Gundis Kurdish Kitchen, and Sunset Pho Caffe. Livability and social signals are both strong, and friction indicators are mid-range, which is about what a 97 Walk Score implies.
