The building has 95 units and was built in 1927. It’s the standard type of layout for the period-with separate dining […]

East Lakeview seems to rival parts of Lincoln Park as one of the most prestigious addresses in the city. 522 W. Briar #3 is a classic vintage unit with three bedrooms, two baths, and in-unit laundry.
