Although you might think of Lakeview as a north side neighborhood that’s full of vintage courtyard condo buildings, upscale newer construction single-family homes, and towering high-rise apartments positioned right on the lakefront, it’s also home to some of the coolest loft conversions you’ll find anywhere in Chicago.

From converted old bank buildings and schools to chic new loft developments with a little more of a modern look and feel, the diversity and variety of lofts for sale in Lakeview present some very special opportunities to Chicago area homebuyers specifically looking for an authentic loft space.

The other upside to Lakeview lofts is that in many cases, you’ll likely find listing prices that are a whole lot more affordable than in many downtown neighborhoods like West Loop in River North, so regardless of budget, if you’re a loft lover in Chicago looking for a new place to call home, why not take a closer look at what Lakeview has to offer.

Located at 3151 N Lincoln, Lincoln Lofts offers soaring ceilings, hardwoods, large windows and some incredible skyline views. The building also enjoys a large rooftop deck, plus it sits next to a Whole Foods Market and just steps away from dining, shopping and nightlife.
