We live in downtown Chicago about 3 blocks from Lake Michigan. From our unit, we enjoy beautiful lake views and in the summer we can view boats of all kinds taking advantage of Chicago's great harbor system. With accommodations for more than 5,000 boats, the Chicago Park District Harbors constitute the nation's largest municipal harbor system.
