Living in the Gold Coast for under $250,000
There are, actually, quite a number of listings under $250,000 in the Gold Coast, Streeterville areas. Not all of them will be what most people are looking for (many lack parking or a washer/dryer or updating since the 1970s.)
But I stumbled across this 1 bedroom in a vintage building on North LaSalle that has parking AND you can install a washer/dryer, if you’re so inclined.
1039 N. LaSalle is a 4 story mid-rise vintage building built in 1876.
Unit #11: 1 bedroom, 1 bath, 750 square feet
- Sold in July 1998 for $114,500
- Currently listed for $225,000 (plus $25,000 for parking)
- Assessments of $192 a month
- Keller Williams Lincoln Park has the listing
Perhaps an agent can enlighten us, but I know this unit was on the market most of last summer/fall for around $250,000. I think that included the parking, however.
The last sale in the building that I could find was in October 2006. Unit #16, also a one bedroom, one bath, sold for $255,000 that year.
