We’ve chattered about this 2-bedroom vintage unit in the courtyard building at 507 W. Aldine in Lakeview several times over the past 3 years. In fact, it seems like I’ve been posting about this property nearly the entire time I’ve been running Crib Chatter. It first came on the market as a regular sale, then […]
We’ve chattered about this 2-bedroom single family home at 1722 W. Wellington several times before. See our last chatter in July 2010 here. On and off the market for nearly 2 years, it was recently reduced another $49,000. It is now listed $35,000 under the 2004 purchase price. The house is somewhat unusual in that […]

That’s why I was intrigued when I ran across this recent listing of a 3-bedroom unit at 448 W. Wrightwood […]
