Lake Meadows is a premier residential community located in the heart of the historic Bronzeville neighborhood, just south of downtown Chicago.

Studios, 1-Bedroom, 2-Bedroom, and 3-Bedroom floorplans can be found within the four high-rise residential buildings and five mid-rise residential buildings.
Our community is located just a short walk away from both Illinois Tech and Lake Michigan's 33rd Street beach.

Zip code 60616 centers on Chicago’s Near South Side, blending Chinatown, Armour Square, McCormick Square, and the Prairie District’s landmarked mansions. Expect four-season Midwest weather—snowy winters, breezy lakefront springs, warm summers for Ping Tom Memorial Park’s riverfront, and crisp falls along Prairie Avenue and the IIT campus. Daily life mixes urban energy with a community vibe: dim sum and bakeries in Chinatown Square (MingHin, Phoenix, Chiu Quon), craft beer and dining at Moody Tongue, coffee at 9 Bar Cafe, big events at McCormick Place and Wintrust Arena, and White Sox games at Guaranteed Rate Field. Groceries are easy at 88 Marketplace and Park To Shop; workouts and green time abound at Dunbar Park, Women’s Park & Gardens, and the Lakefront Trail. Family- and pet-friendly, it offers playgrounds and dog spots like Fred Anderson Dog Park. Transit is simple via the Red/Green lines, Metra at McCormick Place, and quick Lake Shore Drive/I-90/94 access. Recent Zillow Market Trends show a median asking rent around $2,250, with most rentals roughly $1,700–$3,500+.
