Lakeshore East

Awesome place to live. You can walk to many of what Chicago has to offer. Also its relatively quiet with spectacular views.

However, Cook County taxes are very high; some of the highest per sq. ft. in the nation. There is also a special district tax where you are paying for the parks, yet everyone else is using them with no cost to them.

I absolutely love this neighborhood. Were I not a suburban dweller, I’d move to Lakeshore East. When I travel into the city,I can never leave before stopping by this park and simply taking in its beauty. I get the impression that MOST people have no idea that the park and the neighborhood even exists. The architecture here is stunning. There’s great grocery shopping w/gorgeous apartments and condos, and hotels. I’ve a cousin visiting me soon from Los Angeles, whom I’m excited to show this portion of Chicago too. I had tons of photos to showcase the area. Whenever I can find them, I’ll post a few for viewing. The space feels like “a piece of heaven” to me. I’m sure those who live here can attest to my sentiments. That’s a bold assertion for a non-dweller to claim. Yet, I’ve convinced by my experience of the area, I’m probably not wrong in my estimation of Lakeshore East and it’s park’s tranquility. If ever you should visit Chicago, you must walk through this beautiful area of Chicago. I find it stunning.

This park is a great option if you are staying in one of the nearby hotels. It has a small dog park inside.
The view from this park is beautiful.

My favorite park in Chicago. Very few tourists ever see it as it can not be seen from ground level. Also imo the most beautiful and well maintained park in the city. I appreciate all who live nearby who pay a monthly fee for its upkeep. And it’s even a dog park!

The lovely Lakeshore East community has this beautiful garden at its center. While the major Chicago parks are just a block south, this park is meticulously maintained thanks to the residents who support the park and gardens.

This is my current neighborhood. I love the area. I can walk to work. There are parks for my kids to play in, two dog parks, and I have a magnificent view of lake Michigan.

There are also some decent resturants and coffee shops o. The neighborhood.

However, the price tag is high and I have not met a lot of families with young children that live in the neighborhood. I usually see more dogs in strollers being pushed in a day than children.

The other downside is that the only close stores are bockwinkle's and Mariano's. Target is about a mile walk which isn't bad by yourself but with kids it can be an adventure if you decide to make the walk.

Amazing view from all perspectives. But it's coming to an end work than a few years there is new construction D and happen along the river and in front they are building the 3rd tallest building in Chicago in Lake shore some most people's views will be gone
