Fantastic experience: Awesome place to live. You can walk to many of what Chicago has to offer. Also its relatively quiet with spectacular views. However, Cook County taxes are very high; some of the highest per sq. ft. in the nation. There is also a special district tax where you are paying for the parks, yet everyone else is using them with no cost to them.
Fantastic experience: A nice little park for young children

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this neighborhood. Were I not a suburban dweller, I’d move to Lakeshore East. When I travel into the city,I can never leave before stopping by this park and simply taking in its beauty. I get the impression that MOST people have no idea that the park and the neighborhood even exists. The architecture here is stunning. There’s great grocery shopping w/gorgeous apartments and condos, and hotels. I’ve a cousin visiting me soon from Los Angeles, whom I’m excited to show this portion of Chicago too. I had tons of photos to showcase the area. Whenever I can find them, I’ll post a few for viewing. The space feels like “a piece of heaven” to me. I’m sure those who live here can attest to my sentiments. That’s a bold assertion for a non-dweller to claim. Yet, I’ve convinced by my experience of the area, I’m probably not wrong in my estimation of Lakeshore East and it’s park’s tranquility. If ever you should visit Chicago, you must walk through this beautiful area of Chicago. I find it stunning.
Fantastic experience: This park is a great option if you are staying in one of the nearby hotels. It has a small dog park inside. The view from this park is beautiful.

Dubious after this experience even allowing for "growing pains"

Fantastic experience: This hidden gem is right downtown and not many people know about it. Unless you live in the area you won't see it. You might stumble upon it. Sit back and enjoy.
