Lakeview is one of Chicago's largest and busiest North Side neighborhoods, running from Diversey Parkway north to Irving Park Road and Montrose Avenue, between Ravenswood Avenue and Lake Michigan. It's in the 60657 and 60613 zip codes. Annexed by Chicago in 1889, Lakeview is home to Wrigley Field, the Southport Corridor, the Northalsted and Belmont-Broadway business districts, lakefront high-rises along Lake Shore Drive, and some of the city's most in-demand single-family blocks.

What the numbers show: a two-bedroom condo west of Sheffield sold for about $200,000 more than one near the lake, but lakefront buildings carry monthly assessments more than twice as high, since many are full-service high-rises. West of Sheffield is also where most of Lakeview's single-family homes are, with a median of about $1.9 million.
