This 4-bedroom bungalow at 4426 N. Menard in Portage Park came on the market in October 2015. (Sorry, I don’t have a picture as I haven’t been able to get out to take pictures of new properties. As soon as spring arrives, I’ll be out there.) The listing says it has been renovated and has […]

This 3-bedroom single family home at 832 N. Marshfield in the East Village neighborhood of West Town just came on the market. If it looks familiar, that’s because we chattered about it several times in 2010. You can see our first chatter about it in March 2010. It took about 6 months to sell but finally […]

The Abbott Estate at 4605 N. Hermitage in the Ravenswood neighborhood of Uptown recently came on the market. If it looks familiar, it’s because we chattered about it in 2010 after it had been on the market during the Great Recession years in 2009 and 2010. You can see our chatter here (where some of […]

This 3-bedroom in 474 N. Lake Shore Drive in Streeterville just came on the market. It has south and west views from the 49th floor with views of the Lake, River, the city and Trump Tower.

This 4-bedroom single family home at 900 N. Richmond in the East Humboldt Park neighborhood of West Town recently came on the market. This is a “Smart Tech” home. These were built all over the up-and-coming neighborhoods starting around 2010. The developer bought up a lot of foreclosures, which were cheaper, and built 4-bedroom single family […]

Built in 1912, The Marlborough is one of the original grand dames of Lincoln Park, with park and pond views. This unit has seen a complete overhaul since its last sale in 2014. The listing says it has […]

This top floor 3-bedroom at 2007 W. Belmont in North Center was recently re-listed after it was briefly on the market late last summer. If it looks familiar, that’s because we actually did chatter about it in 2012 when it was a short sale. See the 2012 chatter here. Back then, many of you debated […]

This southeast corner 2-bedroom in 110 W. Superior in River North just came on the market. Many people know this building because of its blue windows. Constructed in 2008, it has just 58 units. This unit has city views and brand new hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen has modern wood cabinets with stainless steel appliances […]

The 2-bedroom penthouse unit at 444 W. Belmont in East Lakeview just came on the market. I love it when “old” properties return to Crib Chatter. We have chattered about this penthouse unit 4 times before. It first appeared on Crib Chatter in August 2008 when it was listed for $825,000. Here are the pictures […]

This top floor 2-bedroom in Cortina Court at 429 W. Aldine in East Lakeview just came on the market. Built in 1926, this building has 24 units and some have their own, private heated garages on the back alley. This is one of the units with the garage, which the listing says also has extra […]
