This 1-bedroom in SoNo at 860 W. Blackhawk in Lincoln Park (? Near North Side?) came on the market in May 2025. Built in 2008, SoNo was the first condo high-rise built in the North/Clybourn corridor. It got embroiled in the housing bust of 2008-2012 and prices were lowered to clear the building inventory. It […]

This 3-bedroom in Basecamp at 1013 N. Cleveland in River North came on the market in July 2018. We’ve debated this before- but is this even River North? The maps call it “near north side.” River North usually ends at Chicago Avenue. This is north of Chicago. This listing is calling it River North. This […]

This 3-bedroom loft in Domain at 900 N. Kingsbury in the Gold Coast (what is this neighborhood again???) recently came on the market. (Sorry- this is the only picture I have of the building- but this is the commercial end of it with Groupon etc. I need a new picture!) We’ve cribbed about a lot of the west […]

This 3-bedroom at 1322 N. Clybourn on the Near North Side came on the market in October 2014. We’ve chattered about this 6-unit building before. See that 2011 chatter here. Built in 2008, just before the housing bust, it was a Leed-certified building with bamboo floors and other eco-friendly finishes. Although, the current listing doesn’t […]

We haven’t chattered about Sono, the newer construction high rise at 860 W. Blackhawk in the Clybourn Street Corridor in the Near North Side in awhile. (yes- I’m probably getting the neighborhood wrong. What do you call this location?) The building finally sold out and there haven’t been any recent resales until this 2-bedroom unit […]

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom in the silver-leed certified building at 1322 N. Clybourn on the Near North Side (near a soon to be new Target, apparently) in April 2011. See our prior chatter here (but I’m almost scared to link to the old thread- given the discussion about pizza, among other things). In […]

We last chattered about this new(er) construction silver leed-certified building at 1322 N. Clybourn on the Near North Side in December 2009. See our prior chatter here. We last chattered about Unit #3N, a 3-bedroom unit, which was originally listed in July 2009 for $499,000 and which finally sold in June 2010 for $422,000. Some of you were surprised […]
