More About Lakeview Real Estate

Lakeview homes for sale consist primarily of condos of all shapes and sizes. Whether you're looking for an affordable attached single or a luxury penthouse, you'll find what you need in Lakeview. The highest end of the market is occupied by truly incredible condos, often but not always penthouses, that offer sweeping views of the lake and the city. Going for as high as $5 million, these condos offer as much as 4,000 to 5,000 square feet of space, making them essentially mansions in the sky.

With high ceilings and stunning, floor-to-ceiling windows, these condos take full advantage of their sky-high location to provide you with unparalleled lakeshore vistas. Being so high up also means a great deal of privacy without having to shut out the light with blinds or curtains. In addition to the view, these luxury condos include truly opulent features, such as marble bathrooms, custom cabinetry, and personal chef's kitchens, not to mention personal libraries and bars. Finally, beyond the doors of your dream home, you'll enjoy the finest building amenities such as saunas, swimming pools, and state-of-the-art fitness centers.

While it's fun to dream about owning one of these high-end condos, most buyers will want to direct their attention to the middle of the market. Covering a range from below $400,000 to almost $1 million, the typical Lakeview condo offers great value, with 2,500 to 3,000 square feet of space and three bedrooms per apartment. Often, these apartments are in older, low-rise buildings, which can offer unique floor plans with only two or four units per floor, which helps the building feel more intimate and personal. With two or three bedrooms, open concept kitchens, and private master baths, these condos are architectural marvels with a historic feel. The interiors also tend to have seen recent renovations, with quartz and granite countertops and the latest top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances. HOA fees, which tend to be below $2,000 per month, will cover all utilities as well as trash collection and shared building amenities such as an indoor pool and front-desk security. Lastly, these condos make great investments, as the demand for classic Chicago real estate near the lake is only going up.

Even the most affordable options in Lakeview offer great lakeshore views and plenty of space. If you're only looking to spend around $250,000, you can find comfortable two- and three-bedroom condos with over 1,500 square feet of living space. When you look to the low end of the market, you don't give up location—you mainly sacrifice some of the more cutting edge interior features mentioned above. This is great news for anyone looking to invest, as it's not hard to remodel one of these units and bring its market value way up!
