About Optima Lakeview

Firmly planted in the tradition of modernist design, Optima Lakeview contributes a certain luxurious charm to a neighborhood that intersperses historical and ultra-modern buildings. This apartment complex adopts the same philosophy as all of Optima’s buildings, but tailors it to its Lakeview surroundings, an approach they apply to each of their projects: “Each Optima development is distinctive and customized to its physical location, with shared signature aesthetics including strong geometric shapes, inherently beautiful building materials and open, flexible floor plans.” Lovers of Lakeview will encounter all of the lifestyle luxuries they could possibly desire in an apartment, with convenient access to their favorite neighborhood haunts. 

The abundant amenities at Optima Lakeview include:

  • A magnificent rooftop sky deck with a pool (open year round!), jacuzzi, outdoor grilling and dining stations, and indoor common space, all with stunning views of city and lake;
  • Fitness facilities with a massive gym overlooking the sky-lit atrium, yoga studio, complimentary towel service, a full-size basketball/pickleball court, a golf simulator, and a sauna;
  • 2,000 sq. ft. heated outdoor dog park and an indoor pet spa;
  • Children’s playroom;
  • Residents’ room with a chef’s kitchen, theater space, and two conference rooms; 
  • Game room with pool and ping pong; and
  • Many additional services, from grocery delivery to pet sitting.

Onsite parking and EV charging stations mean that you don’t need to scour the streets around Wrigleyville for a spot on game days.

If those conveniences don’t already entice you into scheduling a tour here, consider the apartment units themselves. At Optima Lakeview, you can live in a home with a private, landscaped terrace, plenty of storage, work-from-home space, smart home technology, granite countertops, plank flooring, and in-unit washer & dryer. Floor-to-ceiling windows let in natural light and tall ceilings create a spacious environment. Frameless glass showers define the elegant bathrooms, while large closets provide room for even avid shoe collectors. For a high quality of life in a quintessentially Chicago neighborhood, Optima Lakeview stands out a cut above.
