This 2-bedroom at 807 W. Lill in Lincoln Park recently came on the market. It’s a Freddie Mac Homesteps property. This building, at the corner of Lill and Halsted, was converted to condos at the height of the market in 2005. This unit has an exposed brick wall, a fireplace and hardwood floors in the main living […]

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom single family home at 610 W. Kemper in Lincoln Park in July 2012. See our prior chatter here. At the time, because it was listed at $499,000,  it was a “story” because it was a rare Lincoln Park single family home priced under $500,000. But it didn’t sell. The […]

We’ve chattered about this 3-bedroom vintage unit overlooking the park at 2130 N. Lincoln Park West in Lincoln Park several times over the last year. See our October 2012 chatter here. Last October, it went to a short sale and reduced to $712,000. The unit directly above it, Unit #3S, with the same layout had sold […]

We first chattered about this 9 unit new construction building at 1310-1312 W. Webster in Lincoln Park in November 2011 when it was under construction. See our previous chatter here.

We’ve chattered about this 2-bedroom in the 4-unit vintage building at 562 W. Arlington in Lincoln Park twice before. The building was converted into upscale condos in 2005 with custom finishes. The kitchen is described as a “gourmet wraparound” with Viking and SubZero appliances. There is a spa like bath in the master bath, central […]

We’ve chattered about this 2 bedroom at 2757 N. Lincoln in the north end of Lincoln Park twice in the last year and a half. See our November 2011 chatter here. Back then, the unit was listed as a short sale and had just done a $60,000 drama price reduction (which evidently didn’t work- because […]
