This 3-bedroom in The Portals, the complex of 3-bedroom duplexes at 437 W. Grant in East Lincoln Park, just came on the market. We’ve discussed several of these units over the years. They are popular due to their relative affordability and their location in “true” East Lincoln Park. The complex was built in 1972. All […]

This 4-bedroom re-sale in Lincoln Park 2550 at 2550 N. Lakeview in Lincoln Park came on the market in March 2013. At 5175 square feet it has the preferred south, east/Lake views and 3 terraces. You can see from the listing pictures that every room has both floor and ceiling crown molding, including the bathrooms. […]

This 2-bedroom at 2006 N. Howe in East Lincoln Park just came on the market. (It is actually on the far right end of this building above which shows 2002 N. Howe.) Built in 1905, it is a top floor unit with some exposed brick walls and an open layout for the living/dining and kitchen […]

We’ve chattered about this 3-bedroom vintage row house at 474 W. Deming in East Lincoln Park several times over the past year. See our November 2012 chatter here. Last year, when it was originally listed at $949,000, some of you thought that the two outdoor parking spaces were a detriment to a sale at that price. […]

This 2-bedroom duplex loft in the Soda Pop Factory Loft at 1001 W. Altgeld in Lincoln Park came on the market in April 2013. It has already been under contract once. At 1700 square feet, it has a private entrance which makes it feel more like a townhouse than a condo. It has 16 foot […]

A couple of years ago a few of you wrote me wondering about this 1-bedroom cottage at 2151 N. Magnolia in West Lincoln Park. Back in June 2010, it had come on the market at $905,000 but was quickly reduced to $829,000. It never sold and was withdrawn in July 2011 listed at $829,000. Built […]

We’ve chattered several times about the 5-bedroom single family home at 336 W. Wisconsin in Lincoln Park, also known as “the Fugitive House.” See our November 2012 chatter here. It went under contract in August but then came back on the market a few weeks later. The listing says “Nothing else compares!” If you recall, it […]

We’ve chattered about this 5-bedroom full floor unit at 2344 N. Lincoln Park West across from Lincoln Park several times over the last year. See our October 2012 chatter here. It’s still available. Originally listed at $2.8 million, it has been reduced several times and is now listed at $2.25 million. Many of you have […]

It seems like a lot of properties we’ve seen in the past several years that didn’t sell are suddenly coming back on the market. And who can blame them for trying again with these market conditions? We last chattered about this first floor 3-bedroom at 2227 N. Bissell in Lincoln Park in April 2010. See […]

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom vintage unit with a crow’s nest at 351 W. Dickens in Lincoln Park in November 2012. See our prior chatter here. Back in November, when it was listed at $499,000, you all thought the lack of updates in the kitchen would prevent a sale. It had maple cabinets, white […]
