Lake View, located between Lake Michigan and the North Branch of the Chicago River, is a lakeside and entertainment Chicago neighborhood with historic greystones and a shoreline park system. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Clark Street near Wrigley Field, where sports bars, indie boutiques, and late-night eateries keep the sidewalks in motion. Brick two-flats and courtyard buildings line leafy side streets, while newer mid-rises cluster near transit corridors. Belmont Harbor and the Lakefront Trail set a daily rhythm of sailboats, runners, and skyline views. Landmark venues like Wrigley Field, the Music Box Theatre, and the Athenaeum Center anchor local culture.

RS-3
Residential Single-Unit (Detached House) District
The primary purpose of the RS districts is to accommodate the development of detached houses on individual lots. It is intended that RS zoning be applied in areas where the land-use pattern is characterized predominately by detached houses on individual lots or where such a land use pattern is desired in the future. The Zoning Ordinance includes three RS districts - RS3 - which are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements and floor area ratios.
