We chattered about this renovated 1-bedroom unit in 30 E. Elm in the Gold Coast in December 2008. In addition to being updated it also had an in-unit washer/dryer which was unusual for the building.

111 W. Maple in the Gold Coast was built in 1991 and converted into condos in the late 1990s. Some units have washer/dryers in the unit, others do not. This 2-bedroom has the washer/dryer and parking is available. Do you have the vision to see beyond the 1990s interior? Both bedrooms are decently sized and […]
There was recently a discussion about what makes The Palmolive, at 159 E. Walton, in the Gold Coast a “luxury” building as opposed to just another expensive high rise.

This 1-bedroom unit just appeared on Craigslist and the MLS. The listing says it’s “below developer pricing” and that it’s scheduled to close in mid-2009. Will Elysian flippers have […]
No- there’s nothing wrong with the building or the unit (from what tipsters who have been in both have told me.) After 3 years off and on the market, Unit #202 in the small, boutique building The Regent, at 190 E. Walton in the Gold Coast, has finally sold. It sold for $55,000 less than the 2000 […]
This 4-bedroom, 3700 square feet condo at 10 E. Schiller in the Gold Coast was advertised as “Lake Forest in the city.” It was renovated vintage with on-site parking included in the price.
