Bellevue Place in the Gold Coast stretches from State St to Lake Shore Drive. It’s basically a single long block book-ended by Tavern on Rush and Gibsons on the west and Oak Street Beach on the east.
Anyone setting out to select Chicago’s best blocks would have to consider Bellevue Place a contender. The tree-lined block’s architectural heritage is largely intact, consisting mostly of single-family homes built in the late nineteenth century. The range of shopping, dining, nightlife and recreational amenities within a five-minute walk is, in a word, astounding.
There are currently five single-family homes for sale on Bellevue Pl, priced from $1.599M to $3.95M, and one under contract at a list price of $1.895M.
32 E Bellevue Pl, $3.5M 47 E Bellevue Pl, $1.799M 56 E Bellevue Pl, $3.95M 67 E Bellevue Pl, $1.599M 109 E Bellevue Pl, $2.6M

If you look closely at the first photo in this post you’ll see Meladee Hughes toward the end of the block. In the following video Meladee and I gaze at a vintage photo of Lake Shore Drive and talk about what it was like to be a little girl on the Gold Coast years ago.
