3550 N Lake Shore Dr | Chicago, IL
Few addresses in Chicago deliver this combination of scale, location, and value. Rising 28 stories at the corner of Lake Shore Drive and Addison Street, this 728-unit high-rise has been one of East Lakeview's most sought-after condominium buildings since it was completed in 1962. Its modernist architecture — defined by a clean grid of windows — frames sweeping views of Lake Michigan, Belmont Harbor, and the downtown skyline that never get old.
The building is full-service in every sense. A 24-hour door staff greets residents and guests around the clock, while on-site management and maintenance keep daily life running smoothly. The rooftop sundeck offers some of the best skyline and lakefront views in the neighborhood — prime real estate for events like the Air & Water Show. Additional amenities include a fitness center, party room, receiving room, bike storage, laundry facilities, a convenience store, and valet-run heated garage parking. Monthly assessments cover heat, water, cable, exterior maintenance, and more, making ownership here straightforward and all-inclusive.
Units range from studios to two-bedrooms, with floor plans and price points that attract everyone from first-time buyers to longtime Lakeview residents looking to simplify. The building is cat-friendly, though dogs and in-unit washer/dryers are not permitted. The location is hard to beat. Belmont Harbor is steps away, and the lakefront trail — with its running and biking paths, tennis courts, softball fields, and beaches — begins right outside the front door. The Red Line's Addison stop is less than a mile away, and Wrigleyville, Boystown, and the vibrant shops and restaurants of Lakeview East are all within easy walking distance.
For buyers and renters who want lakefront Chicago living with full amenities and real neighborhood character, 3550 N Lake Shore Dr consistently delivers.
