Most of the local residents enjoy car-free commuting as the neighborhood is served by many public transportation options. This beautiful northside community also boasts an amazing array of dining, shopping, and entertainment possibilities. West Lakeview also offers top-rated schools and includes the highly touted Burley and Blaine School Districts.

West Lakeview, Chicago History

The community has a long and storied past, with districts like Wrigleyville and Boystown being central to the diversity and cultural life of the neighborhood. In 1887, Lakeview Township was incorporated and subsequently annexed by the city. The borders encompassed east to Western Avenue, and from Fullerton Avenue north to Devon Avenue. This is a slightly larger area than the current Lakeview neighborhood today. The name Lakeview came to be because of its closeness to Lake Michigan and the views it offered residents at the time, providing better views of the Chicago River than Lake Michigan which was a bit too far in the east. The western part of Lakeview was where the city’s biggest shopping districts formed along the Lincoln-Belmont-Ashland intersection. The area was originally settled by farmers from Sweden, Luxembourg, and Germany. Celery was the most important local crop being grown at that time. Several decades later, the popular Wieboldt’s Department Store established itself there in 1917 at the intersection of Lincoln, Belmont, and Ashland Avenues. Today it is long gone but still remains a primary shopping district with many retail stores and businesses. In 1952, the Lakeview Citizens Council was formed and out of that have developed 9 other smaller residential organizations for the different geographic sections in Lakeview. The West Lakeview Neighbors was developed in order to provide representation for residents on the western end of Lake View between Racine, Belmont, Ravenswood, and Addison. 2011 saw an expansion of its boundaries to also include the area between Ashland, Addison, Ravenswood, and Irving Park.

The community of West Lakeview is approximately 12,283 residents. It has a predominantly white population around 85.7%, followed by African-Americans and Hispanics. Asian residents amount to about 6.4% of the population of the neighborhood.

Great place, very knowledgeable in their field. I have been to other chiropractors who only look for the return but here I feel I get the results I need. also it’s a Family friendly environment.

Linda Kaucher

I have been going to McKinley Family Chiropractic for almost a year now (or is it longer?). I have NO regrets at all. I have never felt better! The staff and the doctors are absolutely compassionate, caring and very friendly. I feel like I am visiting family each week! They are so knowledgeable and fully explain everything that they are doing. They always are so patient with me when I ask questions and NEVER feel rushed out of there. Give them a try and see for yourself.

I’ve been suffering from strong upper back and neck pain, stretching down the nerves in my arms, since working from home with the onset of the pandemic. Before coming to McKinley Family Chiropractic, I spent thousands of dollars on massages and PT, but the pain was persistent. I was also seeing a chiropractor out in the suburbs, but the commute made it difficult to schedule appointments with frequency, so I only scheduled appointments when the pain got too severe. I wish I started coming to McKinley family chiropractic sooner! Within the first two weeks of the regiment , I felt vast improvement. I no longer have nerve pain, the muscles in my neck were a lot less tense, and my posture improved immensely. They’ve also helped me work through ongoing knee pain that has improved my running form! Moreover, the staff is very kind. I’m always greeted by my first name when I walk in the door and I feel comfortable asking the team any question about pain in the body. Note that the process requires several initial visits (I scheduled appointments 2-3x/week for the 12 visits), but then the visit frequency scales back once I had noticeable improvement. The office does accommodate this by having flexible hours (open until 7pm certain evenings, Saturday morning appointments are always available) and having an efficient schedule ( I rarely stay in the office longer than 10 minutes). I really appreciate Dr. McKinley’s holistic approach to health and wellness and would recommend anyone experiencing pain to visit McKinley Family Chiropractic.

I’ve had such a great time at McKinley Family Chiropractic! The staff is so welcoming and makes you feel right at home even when you’re having problems with your back. I’ve been here with them for about a month and I have nothing but good things to say about the staff and business. With my job I have a different schedule every day and the staff is very accommodating to it, as they have flexible hours so it’s super easy for me to come from work. I recommend coming here if you are having trouble with your back as Dr. Ray and Dr. McKinley have taken very good care of me! I’ve improved in just over a month and have been feeling back to myself thanks to them and the staff
