This 2-bedroom top floor loft in the Union Lofts at 3500 S. Sangamon in Bridgeport came on the market in December 2014. We’ve chattered about this building before. Converted into lofts in 2004, it was symbol that the neighborhood had “arrived” as lofts were hot in all the other hip neighborhoods so it was a […]

This 3-bedroom home at 3012 S. Emerald in Bridgeport just came on the market. (Sorry, I don’t have a picture in my vast collection of photos.) The house was built in 1974 on a 120×25 lot. But what sets it apart is a glass enclosed 10×18 indoor pool in a great room attached to the back […]

We last chattered about this vintage 2-bedroom brick workman’s cottage at 3554 S. Union in Bridgeport in July 2009. See our July chatter and pictures here.
