This 19-unit co-op building looks to be amazingly organized, clean, and attracts people with a green thumb based on what I saw in the courtyard and deck areas. No rentals. Private laundry is in the common basement area where there is also ample...
storage. In-unit laundry is allowed. A larger covered outdoor space is shared with one other unit. Lots of thought and higher end materials and finishes were used in the recent remodel. On site parking is not available.
Lake View East, located between Lake Michigan and Wrigleyville, is a lakefront and residential Chicago neighborhood with a breezy shoreline edge and a dense grid of walkable storefronts. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Broadway and Belmont, where late-night eateries, indie boutiques, and marquee theaters keep the sidewalks in motion. Landmark mid-rises and classic Chicago brick walk-ups line leafy side streets, while the lakefront path frames daily routines with water and skyline views. The Music Box Theatre and the Athenaeum Center anchor the cultural calendar. Crisp air and open lawns define Belmont Harbor and the nearby lakefront parks.
