Chicago vs New York: Is Chicago a Steal? 1555 N. Dearborn Parkway in the Gold Coast

The unit has some of the features Chicago buyers look for including central air and valet parking on-site, but it doesn’t have in-unit washer/dryer. There’s a laundry room in the building.

The building is located on Lincoln Park, near the Chicago History Museum, North Street Beach and the shops and restaurants of Old Town and East Lincoln Park.

Listed at $275,000, that’s $24,000 higher than the 2018 sales price of $251,000.

At the same time that Redfin showed me this unit in Chicago, it also gave me a 1-bedroom in New York City’s West Chelsea neighborhood at 420 W. 23rd.

This building was built in 1984 and is 12 stories with just 39 units. It has door staff and a common garden.

There’s no parking or exercise room.

This New York City unit is a 700 square foot unit, which also has a balcony. Subtract the balcony and it’s 654 square feet.

It also has a galley kitchen that the listing says is “recently refurbished” with stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher and a microwave range hood. It also has “ample” counter space.

There’s no window in the galley kitchen.

The listing says the bedroom could do a king bed.

The living room has reddish wood looking floors, but the listing doesn’t say if they are hardwoods.

It has some of the features a buyer might want including a 2 zone HVAC.

There’s no washer/dryer in the unit either, but it is not as common in NYC as in Chicago. There is a laundry room in the building (not all buildings have a laundry room so this is considered an amenity.)

The listing says it has views of London Terrace and historical Chelsea. From the balcony, you can even see a sliver of the river.

The building is near the shops and restaurants of Chelsea, public transportation and is just one block from High Line.

It was listed in 2022 for $1.1 million and then reduced but was withdrawn in 2023. It was listed for rent at $4600 a month in 2023.

But it has come back on the market in April 2025 for $999,000.

Is Chicago real estate a steal compared to other major cities like New York?

Epitome of Charm in this 2-Bedroom in Gaslight Court in Old Town: 1411 N. Wells

This 2-bedroom in Gaslight Court at 1411 N. Wells in Old Town came on the market in April 2025.

Built in 1895, Gaslight Court has 8 units which share a cobblestone courtyard that the listing says is the “oldest brick road still standing” in Chicago.

You enter through a locked wrought iron gate. There are no amenities.

This unit is in one of the buildings facing the street and has south, west and north exposure.

It has some of its vintage features with tall ceilings, some moldings, hardwood floors, a separate dining room and a wood burning fireplace in the living room (listing doesn’t say if it’s original or not.)

There are bay windows.

The listing says the kitchen was “recently refreshed” but this unit last sold in 2021 and the listing description is just a cut and paste from that listing.

It has white cabinets and Kitchen Aid stainless steel appliances.

It only has one bathroom which the listing says was “recently remodeled” with heated floors but this is also from the 2021 listing.

There are two bedrooms and an office, with a closet.

The unit has some of the features buyers look for including central air and washer/dryer in the unit (located in the kitchen, behind the door) but it doesn’t have parking.

The listing says you can rent it in two nearby garages starting at $200 a month but this was from the 2021 listing. I wonder if it’s still $200 a month after the inflation surge of the last few years?

The listing says the “shared cobblestone courtyard is the epitome of charm.”

This building is in the heart of Old Town, including all the shops and restaurants such as Small Cheval and the Fireplace Inn. It’s also near Lincoln Park and public transportation if you don’t have a car.

Listed at $448,000, that’s $51,000 above the 2021 sales price of $397,000.

Does this unit check all the boxes if you’re looking for vintage in Old Town?

Ryan Cherney at Circle One Realty has the listing. See the pictures here. Sorry no floor plan but the prior listing from 2021 has one.

There are just 2 residences per floor.

The listing says this unit is a “one of a kind luxury condo.”

While the building was built in 1929, it doesn’t appear to have many of its vintage features.

It has been “impeccably remodeled.”

There are 3/4 inch white oak floors throughout and 9 foot ceilings.

It has 2 electric fireplaces, one in the living room and one in the dining room, along with built in cabinets and bookcases in the living room.

This unit has the features buyers look for including central air, washer/dryer in the unit and garage parking is available to rent for $100 a month.

This building is “steps” from Montrose Beach and all the restaurants of Buena Park and north Lakeview. It’s near bus lines.

Listed in March 2025 for $472,000, it has been reduced $43,000 to $429,000.

Buyers love “new.”

Gold Coast Neo-Moorish Masterwork with a Rooftop Dome for $7.9 Million at 79 E. Cedar

This single family home at 79 E. Cedar in the Gold Coast came on the market in April 2025.

Anyone who has walked down Cedar, notices this home. I have taken pictures of it for 15 years.

And now we get to see inside.

Built in 1884, the listing says it was Bertha Palmer who commissioned architect Joseph Lymen Silsbee of Silsbee and Kent. The listing calls it a “neo-Moorish masterwork.”

It’s on a smaller than standard Chicago lot measuring 26×72. It has an attached, heated 2-car garage. There’s apparently no backyard, but there is heated pavement in front of the home.

The listing says the house also has original latticework and wrought iron fences.

It has been “meticulously refurbished.”

It has many vintage features including 5 fireplaces, including one in what looks like the primary bathroom.

The house also has a wood staircase in the entryway, with carvings. There’s wood crown molding and wood floors on the main level.

The house has 5 bathrooms and 4 powder rooms.

The listing says there’s a spa (but no pictures).

There are 3 kitchenettes and a wine room (no pictures).

The listing also says there is a “Parisian style elevator” that serves all floors (no pictures of it).

3 of the 4 bedrooms are on the second floor and the primary is on the third floor.

There are pictures of a kitchen which has stainless steel and wood cabinets and stainless steel appliances.

The house has a separate dining room.

The listing has a theater room in the basement along with the laundry room.

But the most unique feature is the rooftop conservatory which has a gold dome and a terrace which wraps around the conservatory.

If you watch the video on the property, it is only of the outside of the home, but you can see the rooftop terrace is large enough to have several eating and seating areas, including a grill.

There is also a second balcony on the third floor that wraps around the home as well.

The listing says there are “lake views from every room.”

It has central air.

The listing calls it “one of a kind.”

This house is near Lake Shore Drive, several bus lines, the shops and restaurants of the Gold Coast and the Mag Mile. It’s also near Oak Street Beach.

Listed in April 2025 for $7.9 million, it appears that it hasn’t been on the market since 1996, whcn Redfin and Zillow say it sold for $1.035 million.

There are only 7 single family homes available in Chicago over $7 million right now.

Will the sellers get their price?

Airbnb Allowed in Vintage 2/2 in Lincoln Park for $550,000: 2221 N. Lincoln

This 2-bedroom at 2221 N. Lincoln Avenue in Lincoln Park came on the market in April 2025.

Some of you may remember this building as we’ve chattered about it in 2020 and in 2022. In 2022, the chatterati complained about living above the taqueria and we had an extensive discussion about what kind of loan you could use to buy this unit.

You can see our 2022 chatter here.

Why the discussion about the loan? It has 5 units, with two commercial spaces and three residential.

The 2022 listing stated:  “Financing restrictions with HOA, inquire with listing agent for details.”

It was converted into condos in 1999.

As you may recall, this unit has the only private garage for the building, which is down the side alley. That garage includes some additional storage.

The unit has many of its vintage features including original oak mill woodwork with custom, solid oak built-ins including a hutch in the dining room.

It also has ceiling medallions in several rooms and bay windows in the living and dining room.

The kitchen has white cabinets, stainless steel appliances and stone counter tops.

The primary bedroom has an en suite bathroom, which is rare in a vintage unit.

It has the features buyers look for including washer/dryer in the unit and central air, along with the garage parking.

The listing states that the following updates:

Updates include: New HVAC (2022), paint, plaster repair, wood hutch and trim restained (2022), new windows (2023), new kitchen faucet (2024), new tile flooring in kitchen and both baths(2025), added storage racks in garage (2022), new wireless garage door opener, garage keypad installed (2023), and EV charger installed (2024).

This listing also says that investors are welcome. Not only that but it is “one of the only associations in Lincoln Park that specifically allows short term Airbnb rentals.”

The building is professionally managed.

It’s close to Oz Park, the shops and restaurants on Lincoln and everything else that Lincoln Park has to offer.

In 2022 this unit went under contract quickly.

Inventory is even lower in 2025 than it was in 2022.

It has been listed at $550,000, which is $150,000 higher than the 2022 purchase price of $400,000.

Is the Airbnb possibility a selling point, or a negative, for a possible buyer?

Ted Kuhlmann and Mary Anne Divina at Compass now have the listing again. See the pictures and floor plan here.
