Crib Chatter

Long time Crib Chatter readers will remember this new construction building at 1005 W. Webster in Lincoln Park from 2010 and 2011. We chattered about how quickly these 6 units would sell. See our January 2011 chatter here. Even amidst a very poor market in 2010, most of you were surprised to see these units […]

This bank owned 2-bedroom at 2626 N. Lakeview in Lincoln Park came on the market in March 2013 and was recently reduced. I’m surprised it is still listed and having to lower its price to find a buyer. While the unit itself doesn’t have lake views, right outside the front door is all of Lincoln […]

This 3-bedroom corner unit townhouse at 1816 N. Dayton in Lincoln Park came on the market in November 2012. The listing says it has had over $100,000 in upgrades including all new windows. The kitchen has custom features including Kraftmaid cabinets and Juperna Persia granite counter tops along with stainless steel appliances. The bathrooms have […]

This 3-bedroom top floor unit in the  midrise vintage courtyard building at 2337 N. Commonwealth in East Lincoln Park just came on the market. The building has an elevator, so it’s not a problem being on the 5th floor. The listing says the unit has “lake views.” It has the original hardwood floors and plaster […]

This 4-bedroom duplex unit in The Pierre at 2100 N. Lincoln Park West in Lincoln Park came on the market in October 2012. At 2850 square feet, it has views of Lincoln Park and the lake. There’s no floor plan with the listing but Redfin agents who have seen the unit said in the notes […]

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but a lot of properties that we’ve chattered about in the past several years or which have simply been on the market off and on are returning to the market to try again. This 2-bedroom at 1117 W. Armitage in Lincoln Park is one of those. It was on […]

This 1-bedroom at 2550 N. Lakeview in Lincoln Park just came on the market. This is a large one-bedroom with 1164 square feet (although the listing does say 74 square feet is outdoor space.) The listing says it faces north. It has oak floors in the main living areas. The kitchen has modern cabinets with a […]

Many of you will remember this 2-bedroom townhouse at 1732 N. Mohawk in Lincoln Park because we chattered about it several times in 2011. We last asked if it would sell in 2011. The answer was “no.” See our December 2011 chatter here. It was reduced down to $375,000 or $2,500 under the 2002 purchase […]

This 3-bedroom townhouse at 2709 N. Racine in Lincoln Park came on the market in February 2013. It is a short sale. It was briefly off the market before returning listed at the same price of $425,000. Someone recently complained that the townhouses mainly sport the “same” floorplan. This 1700 square foot townhouse has some […]

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom vintage unit at 2233 N. Bissell in Lincoln Park in November 2012. See our prior chatter here. It was listed at $425,000 but most of you thought it would sell closer to $400,000 because of the smaller room sizes. The unit recently closed for $415,000. If you recall, it was […]
