West Lakeview is undergoing a baby boom as families pour into the neighborhood, snapping up detached houses and spacious condos.
“High-tech strollers and high-maintenance Golden Retrievers have become so prevalent in West Lakeview that it’s tempting to explain away the baby boom as the byproduct of some anomaly in the water supply. But locals are quick to point out that reputable schools, good parks, a convenient location and quiet streets lined with single-family houses are more likely factors behind the trend in the neighborhood, bounded roughly by Ashland Avenue on the east, the river on the west, Diversey Parkway on the south and Irving Park Road on the north.”
