The Summer of Outside: Lakeview Edition

Because the only season we really care about? Patio season.

We curated our go-to spots in Lakeview for sipping, strolling, snacking, and soaking it all in—whether you're brunching with the girls, treating your pup to a sunny day out, or grabbing iced lattes between errands. This is your warm-weather checklist, Heyday style.

For many, the decision to move isn’t just about square footage or market trends—it’s about envisioning a future. That was exactly the case for this Chicago family, who found themselves at a crossroads between the practical need for space and the deeper pull toward planting roots.

Thinking about making the move to Logan Square? We totally get it. This neighborhood is where charm meets space, giving you room to grow while staying close to everything you love about city living. With its tree-lined boulevards, historic homes + thriving local scene, Logan Square has a little something for everyone.

Sara and Rochelle, aka The Zou twins, have worked with our agent, Krysta, quite a few times over the years and have a lengthy Chicago home ownership journey. They started like a lot of us, renting. What was their next move?

Aditi and Archit were facing the classic Chicagoan issue: do we want more space outside of the city, or less space and stay in our favorite neighborhood?

We were curious about Sarah’s space, so we invited ourselves over to chat with our whimsical design queen.

Join us for a home tour and creative conversation with Sarah Montgomery.

Whether it is for a new pair of running shoes, a car or a home, it’s always best to do your research and create a plan, right?
