195 N Harbor Dr | Chicago, IL
At 195 North Harbor Drive, The Parkshore occupies a distinctive corner of the New Eastside, where downtown’s towers meet the open horizon of Lake Michigan. The lakefront and its miles of walking, running, and cycling paths are close at hand, while the Chicago River, Millennium Park, Grant Park, and the cultural attractions of Museum Campus extend the city experience in nearly every direction. Set slightly apart from the busiest downtown corridors, the building maintains a composed residential presence amid the energy of the city center.
The Parkshore’s architecture makes full use of that setting. Large, angled windows draw daylight into the residences and frame broad views that may encompass Navy Pier, the river, surrounding parks, and Chicago’s illuminated skyline. Floor plans range from one to three bedrooms, with dens included in select layouts. Above it all, a seasonal rooftop offers an open-air vantage point over the city and lake, furnished with lawn chairs for unhurried afternoons outdoors. An on-site market and dry cleaner add practical convenience at street level.
Beyond the building, the New Eastside unfolds as a layered downtown enclave shaped by water, green space, and striking contemporary architecture. Nearby paths connect easily with the Lakefront Trail, while Oak Street Beach and the Magnificent Mile lie farther north. Restaurants, shops, and everyday services round out the neighborhood’s urban rhythm. The Parkshore’s appeal is rooted in this balance: expansive Chicago views, immediate access to the lakefront, and a setting that feels connected to downtown without being consumed by its pace.
