If you’re not familiar with East Lakeview, there’s no time like the present to get a better understanding of all this neighborhood has to offer. It is bound by Halsted on the west and runs north along the lake front from Diversey to Irving Park.

Many of the  condos are vintage and the high rises offer wonderful examples of what life was like in the early 1900′s. Buildings like 3750 Lake Shore Drive and 3400 Lake Shore Drive have exceptional layouts with spectacular lake views. But, not all of the prime vintage buildings are high rises.

As seen here, 445 W. Briar provides a wide, spacious floor plan with high ceilings, generous room sizes and modern amenities like in-unit laundry and central heating and air conditioning. There are also multi-piece crown moldings, vintage baseboard trim and french pane doors. This home is an excellent example of classic vintage meeting modern convenience.

If you’re an aficionado of vintage condos, in almost any price range, East Lakeview has a lot to offer. If  vintage living isn’t your cup of tea, and you’re are looking for more contemporary and traditional condos, you can search Lakeview condos on the MLS and find your perfect next home!
