Neighborhood

Lakeview East Chicago, IL:
Optima's Luxury Apartment Neighborhood

Live in the Heart of Chicago's Lakeview Area

Lakeview is full of Chicago culture and history, yet it radiates the vibrancy of newness, with every small business or tantalizing restaurant on its avenues and streets. The Lakeview neighborhood in Chicago emits a laid back, neighborly welcome, yet its heart beats with an urban pulse. It attracts youthful energy, yet retains generations of cherished stories. In spite of these apparent contradictions — or perhaps because of them — Lakeview continues to thrive with an unquenchable vitality that has fostered and inspired performers, athletes, writers, activists and inventors to embrace a world that is perfect in its imbalance. And with its lively mix, Lakeview remains a unique gem that represents the past, present and future of Chicago.
