Dining and coffee options line Clark, Broadway, and Southport avenues, while neighborhood shops and the Southport Corridor add a smaller-scale shopping scene. Music venues and bars bring evening activity, and Wrigley Field is a prominent landmark near the neighborhood’s northern edge. Lake View has roots in Chicago’s early lakefront development. The CTA Red, Brown, and Purple lines, buses, and bike routes connect it with other parts of the city. For Lake View, the median rent is $2,488 per month, with a typical range of $950 to $40,000.
