We last chattered about this 3-bedroom single family home at 2722 N. Wilton in Lincoln Park in August 2011. See our prior chatter here. The house was listed at just $500,000. What was the catch? The El ran directly behind the house (where there was also 4-car parking.) Built on a 25×75 lot, the 2800 […]
We chattered about this 3-bedroom short sale at 434 W. Oakdale in East Lakeview several times. See our April 2011 chatter here. Many of you might remember this unit because the kitchen had pale green cabinets. But the unit had many of its vintage features intact including a beamed ceiling in the dining room and […]

This 1894 corner building at 840 W. Wrightwood is so quintessential Lincoln Park that Hollywood decided to use it as a backdrop in the movie The Little Fockers. You can see the building for about a half a second in this trailer (seen near the end.) The listing also fills you in that it is a famous […]
In June 2009, we chattered about the massive developer price cuts in the new construction building R+D659 at 659 W. Randolph in the West Loop.
