I went to the opening weekend of the new conversion at 3033 N. Sheridan in the spring of 2008. There were, literally, swarms of people there and I saw some entering into contracts before I left. (The 70+ degree weather didn’t hurt either.) Read the prior chatter on the building and our comments here. From the prior post- it looks […]
We last chattered about 2930 N. Sheridan in Lakeview in April 2008. See our prior chatter and pictures here. The 252-unit building is an apartment to condo conversion that launched in late 2007. From what I can tell from public records the building stats are the following (out of 252 units): 135 sold 17 currently on […]
I get asked a lot to chatter about 2-bedroom condo units that are “affordable” in trendy neighborhoods like East Lakeview. A 1000-square foot vintage 2-bedroom just came on the market at 636 W. Waveland price at $250,000. Is this a steal at this location? The corner unit has a wood burning fireplace, an in-unit washer/dryer and parking […]
We’ve chattered several times about the $300,000 (and up) 1-bedroom condo around the city. Most have been in the downtown area. But Lincoln Park and Lakeview also sport quite a few of these units, including this one at the LV Lofts, a new construction “loft-style” building at 3245 N. Ashland in the Southport neighborhood. Current stats […]
The 1920s were the peak years for classic vintage courtyard buildings near the lake like this one at 507 W. Aldine in East Lakeview. This 2-bedroom unit has a wood-burning fireplace, plaster moldings and the in-unit washer/dryer. It also has a highly coveted East Lakeview parking spot.

We last chattered about this pretty 1910 vintage 3-bedroom unit at 2910 N. Pine Grove in early December 2008. It has since been reduced $25,000. See our prior chatter and more pictures here. Pam Lynch at Jameson Real Estate still has the listing. See the listing and more pictures here. Unit #2: 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, […]
The number of short sales on million dollar homes in Lakeview seems to be mounting as this 5-bedroom rehab of a vintage greystone at 854 W. Oakdale is the latest to join the list. The house was first listed in June 2008 and has been reduced $250,099. The listing says “timeless elegance” and says the […]
We last chattered about this 3-bedroom vintage unit at 3800 N. Lake Shore Drive in July 2008. 8 months later it is still on the market and has been reduced $20,000. The seller is also “motivated.” See our prior chatter and pictures here. Unit #14E: 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2150 square feet Sold in January 2001 […]
This 7-bedroom “short sale/pre-foreclosure” at 461 W. Melrose in Lakeview has been on the market since June 2008. The listing says it was originally listed for $3 million but I could only find it listed at $2.499 million in June 2008. Since June 2008, it has had several price reductions and price increases but it […]
