We’ve been chattering about this 2-bedroom top floor unit in 919 N. Wolcott in West Town on and off since 2010. See our May 2011 chatter here. If you recall, this is a Ranquist development.

Last summer, some units came on the market and finally […]

We chattered about this Fannie Mae-owned 3-bedroom townhouse at 642 N. Armour in West Town several times last year. See our November 2012 chatter here.

We’ve chattered about this 2-bedroom contemporary at 919 N. Wolcott in West Town several times over the years. Check out our August 2011 chatter here. Is it just me or are a lot of properties coming back on the market that tried to sell a few years ago but couldn’t? And it seems like they […]

This 2-bedroom single family home at 1646 W. Ontario in West Town has been on the market since January 2013. While it’s built on a smaller than normal 36×70 lot, it does have a 1.5 car garage and a deck off the back. There are hardwood floors throughout the main floor. The kitchen is open […]
