Vintage Logan Square Cottage Finally Under Contract: 2527 W. Charleston

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom Logan Square cottage home at 2527 W. Charleston in December 2009. See our prior chatter here. Back in December, when the house was listed for $575,000, most of you thought there was no way it would sell for even $500,000 given its location. After reducing to $480,000 earlier this […]

Forget the Lake, Living on the River is Hot: 2208 W. Diversey in Logan Square

Is It Logan Square or Lakeview? A Loft at 2806 N. Oakley

This 1-bedroom timber loft at 2806 N. Oakley is technically listed as being in Lakeview on the MLS. However, if you look at a map, it is certainly located closer to Logan Square than, say, Wrigley Field. (And I’m labeling it as Logan Square for the purposes of this chatter.) This top floor unit has […]
