I will have a restored two-flat coming on the market in the Ravenswood Manor, Albany Park neighborhoods. Because it is located near the intersection of Whipple and Leland, I use the two neighborhood names because the property is pretty much on the designated borders. But these things are a bit subjective. That said, you will have the best of both worlds in each neighborhood. You can also walk to the Lincoln Square neighborhood.

Please call for a showing before it hits market after the holiday. We are prepping for photos and finishing a few details before open market. This is a move-in, owner quality building. Move right in and own a building, rent one unit and pay the same monthly as a two bedroom condo... no kidding.
