Vista Tower is an ideal home not only because of its amenities, sharp interiors, as well as bragging rights as one of the city’s tallest skyscrapers – Vista Tower also sits in prime location in the Lakeshore East neighborhood, providing residents with unique outdoor apartment amenities.
Lakeshore East is situated within walking distance to some of the city’s greatest and well-known parks and recreational areas. Vista Tower residents can take advantage of these pristine spaces, utilizing them for exercise and relaxing year-round – much like owning a condo or an apartment with outdoor space.
To help support your decisions for getting outside, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorites we hope you’ll explore:
The Park at Lakeshore East
The 6-acre park that gives Vista Tower bragging rights as a Lakeshore East park apartment sits right outside of the building and features a kids’ playground, interactive water feature installment, dog-friendly area and a walking path with ample open space to explore. The botanical centerpiece to the neighborhood is a welcome retreat for open green space, bountiful gardens, and other benefits unique to apartments with outdoor space.
Chicago Riverwalk
Stroll along the 1.25-mile long riverfront path, one of the city’s most-visited areas with something for everyone.
