This 2-bedroom in 2440 N. Lakeview in Lincoln Park recently came on the market. What I like about this site is that we often see the properties again several years later after renovations have been made. We chattered about this unit before, in September 2008, when it was listed as a renovation project. The prior listing said “Bring […]

We last chattered about the “Castle on the Kennedy”, the 5-bedroom new construction house that looks like a castle at 3721 N. Parkview Terrace in Irving Park, in May 2010. See our May 2010 chatter here. Back then, it was listed at $1.89 million. While everyone agreed that it was too high for the neighborhood, […]

This 4-bedroom townhouse at 2757 N. Greenview in Lincoln Park came on the market last February.
