We last chattered about this 2-bedroom vintage unit at 2034 N. Seminary in Lincoln Park in August 2011. See our prior chatter here. At that time, the unit was priced $16,500 under the 2004 purchase price. The property didn’t sell, however, and was withdrawn from the market in October 2011. With news that the market […]

Vince Vaughn isn’t the only one moving out of The Palmolive at 159 E. Walton in the Gold Coast as this large 1-bedroom recently came on the market just about 6 months after it last sold. It is a rare 1-bedroom that faces north- so it’s NOT facing south and looking into the Westin Hotel […]

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom at 2029 W. Pierce in Wicker Park nearly 2 years ago. See our August 2010 chatter here. At the time, it was listed $5,000 above the 2005 purchase price. Several of you thought it was too high (surprise, surprise.) But most of the chatter about the property revolved around the […]

This 3-bedroom townhouse at 1140 W. Cornelia in Lakeview came on the market in May 2012. This is a property for loft lovers who have graduated from the 1-bedroom version and now need space. Like your standard loft, it has exposed brick walls and timber ceilings. But it also has 3 levels including a family […]

This 4-bedroom single family home at 2054 N. Humboldt Boulevard in Logan Square recently came on the market. Built in 1912 it is on a larger than standard Chicago lot of 40×164. The lot is so big it has a rare side driveway from the street that leads to a 2-car brick garage. The house […]

This 3-bedroom single family home at 3721 N. Racine in Lakeview has been on the market since February 2012. It’s a short sale and has been reduced about $100,000 to $500,000 in that time. Built in 1904 on a smaller than standard lot of 25×58, it has 1-car parking which appears to be a pull-in […]
