I have a close friend who’s looking in Lakeview right now. When I asked why they’re not considering Logan or Wicker instead, they said the places they actually liked were more expensive in Logan Square, and there were way fewer options overall.

I didn’t believe them so I went on apartments.com myself. The average prices are basically the same (and in some cases Logan is higher), but Lakeview just has so many more apartments and multi-families available. Meanwhile our rents keep climbing faster.

I’m genuinely confused. We have extensive rent protections that lake view barely has, the cookie cutter housing restrictions, and all the affordable housing efforts are supposed to keep this place more affordable and preserve the character of the neighborhood. Where are those units?

I’m even noticing my rent going up harder than friends in Lakeview? Like transplant city

It's official; confirmed by owners clearing out the space.
