One of the most sought-after areas of the city, the neighborhood of Lakeview is the most populated area in the Midwest largely due to its great dining, shopping and nightlife. It is also home to the Chicago Cubs' Wrigley Field, and a part of the neighborhood is named for it. There are more than 600 retail stores. The pleasant surprise of Lakeview & Wrigleyville is that once you venture 20 steps from the main shopping, restaurant and bar/club areas, you'll find yourself in beautifully maintained tree-lined streets, with rows of lovely houses ranging in age from near-century-old to 3 days ago.
This is the other reason for this area's popularity; one can stay in a gorgeous house on a gorgeous street, then walk for 5 minutes and be in one of the city's mecca shopping/nightlife districts. Transportation is plentiful, with several El line stops (Addison and Southport are 5 minutes walk from the house) and CTA buses within couple of blocks. Plenty of taxis also available everywhere
