The Dobbs Group welcomes you to Lakeview!
A favorite neighborhood known for its diverse stock of housing styles, exciting retail meccas with a diverse variety of shops, bars, and restaurants, and easy access to the gorgeous lakefront. Perhaps you’re searching for your first home, or considering a relocation to this wonderful city and Lakeview is on your short list of neighborhoods to explore? Are you looking for a knowledgeable, local Realtor to help you with the sale of your home or investment property? Whatever your real estate needs may be, I am confident that with our combined 45+ years of experience in Lakeview we can be your thoughtful and knowledgeable guide, helping you find your dream home or assisting in the sale of your current home.
Lakeview is one of Chicago’s largest neighborhoods. With the sub-neighborhoods of West Lakeview, The Southport Corridor, Graceland West, Wrigleyville, East Lakeview, and Boystown, each of Lakeview’s neighborhoods has a unique feel all their own.
Lakeview may be best known as being the home of Wrigley Field and the Chicago Cubs, the 2016 World Series Champions. The acquisition of the Cubs by the Ricketts family brought with it a considerable investment in rebuilding the neighborhood. Many will argue about “the way it used to be”, but Wrigleyville is being transformed from out of the old and into the new, like it or not.
At the Eastern border of Lakeview, as well as for the entire city of Chicago, you will find miles of Lakefront and park with running & bike trails, Belmont harbor, and a doggie beach.
Lakeview is a melting pot of cultures and traditions, as well as some incredible Real Estate! From beautiful Victorian era estates, to classic post-war co-op’s, 60’s and 70’s built high rises, the classic Chicago 3-flat, and brand new construction low and mid-rise buildings, and from studio apartments to high-end luxury single-family homes and condominiums, Lakeview real estate has something to offer everyone no matter your taste or size of your wallet.
Lakeview is a well-loved area for buyers and sellers alike. Debra helped clients buy and sell over 200 homes in the area during her 38 years as a Real Estate agent.
Our Favorite Places
There’s so much to see and do in this charming neighborhood. Don’t miss these favorites of Josh and mine — they’re “the best of Lakeview” in my book!
Tango Sur – You’ve never experienced a BYOB like this! Once you’ve picked up your favorite vino, venture to Tango Sur, where you can expect nothing less than a top-notch steak smothered with authentic, freshly made chimichurri sauce at this Argentinian steakhouse. With its bustling, yet romantic setting, it’s one of the best date night spots in Chicago.
Elixir – If you’re in the mood for the perfect nightcap, head to this gem of a cocktail lounge in Boystown. Serving everything from classics — like perfected Manhattans, to their Bourbon Shrub, with homemade pineapple syrup with rosemary.
Josh’s favorite Restaurants
Fahlstoms Fish Market – This delicious little dish of a restaurant is famous for the “Crabster” sandwich (think lobster roll but with crab instead). I have been here probably 40 times and get this sandwich every time.
The Crepe Shop – Holy authentic Crepe!! It is as good as it gets. Stop reading, start walking, drive, hail a Lyft, just go there!!
Tuco & Blondie – A very vibrant Mexican spot with amazing food and even better margaritas. In the warmer months, they have an outside patio in the rear. This spot does fill up on weekends, so either beat the crowd or plan to wait for a bit.
Coda di Volpe – This Southern Italian restaurant has equally amazing appetizers and main dishes, as well as a great drink list all in a very cozy atmosphere.
Josh’s favorite coffee shop
Maison Marcel – I come here at least two or three days a week as soon as they open when it is quiet and I am the only customer. Authentically French owned, everything is made fresh daily; the patissier works the graveyard shift making all the delicious pastries – my favorite is the nap inducing Almond Croissant. They also have a full breakfast and lunch menu, and offer a wide variety of your favorite coffee drinks. Get here early on weekends, within a few hours this place is packed.
