Fall in Chicago is made for long walks, crisp lakefront air and colorful neighborhood adventures, especially when you have a four-legged friend by your side. At Wave Lakeview, pet-friendly apartment living puts you and your furry companion close to some of Lakeview's best outdoor spaces, trails and neighborhood destinations.

From morning walks along Lake Michigan to afternoons exploring Belmont Harbor, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the season together.

Pet-Friendly Perks Right at Home

At Wave Lakeview, pets are part of the lifestyle. Cats and dogs are welcome, with up to two pets allowed per apartment.

Even better, the community features an onsite pet spa, making it easy to clean up muddy paws after a fall walk or keep your pet looking their best without leaving home.

With pet-friendly studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments available, you can find a space that works for you and your favorite roommate.

Take Your Daily Walk to the Lakefront

One of the biggest perks of living at Wave Lakeview is having Lake Michigan practically in your backyard.

Wave is just steps from Belmont Harbor and the Lakefront Trail, giving you an easy destination for your everyday dog walk. Head toward the water for a quick morning outing or follow the trail for a longer weekend adventure while taking in the lakefront scenery.

October's cooler temperatures and changing leaves make it an especially great time to explore the neighborhood on foot.

Make It a Dog Park Day

For some off-leash fun, Belmont Harbor Dog Friendly Area is located at Belmont and Lake Shore Drive, within Lincoln Park.

The designated dog-friendly area gives pups a place to run and socialize close to home. There's also a dog beach at Belmont Harbor, making the lakefront an even more exciting destination for pups who love the water.

Looking for a change of scenery? Wiggly Field Dog Park is another nearby option for an off-leash adventure.

Explore Lakeview Together

Your daily walk doesn't have to end at the park. Wave Lakeview places you within walking distance of the Broadway entertainment corridor and Lakeview's many restaurants, coffee shops, shops and neighborhood destinations.

Grab a coffee and take a neighborhood stroll, explore the activity around Broadway or find a patio where you can enjoy a bite to eat with your pup by your side.

Local spots like Farm Bar Lakeview can make a fun addition to a neighborhood outing. Just remember that individual restaurant and patio pet policies can change, so check with the business before bringing your pup along.

Create the Perfect Fall Dog-Walking Route

One of the best things about living in Lakeview is having plenty of options for changing up your routine.

Start at Wave Lakeview, head toward Belmont Harbor and Lake Michigan, spend some time along the Lakefront Trail and loop back through the neighborhood for coffee or a bite to eat. Whether you have 20 minutes or an entire afternoon, there's always something new to explore.
