We've loved this Starbucks Coffee at the corner of Wrightwood and Racine for years while criss-crossing Lincoln Park. This is a true neighborhood joint.
Located on a relatively quiet corner with only small shops, the residential location makes for a perfect place to duck in. This section of Wrightwood between Sheffield and Racine is a gorgeous street to live on!
Looks like there will be two top floor units, a couple middle units and two duplex-down homes. This is a very pleasant location adjacent to established town homes and single family homes. The Ravenswood Metra stop is only a few blocks away. It's very green with mature trees and gardens planted along North Ravenswood...and a very Green minded neighborhood with the Zero Net Energy Yannell House located a few doors down.
Come early, make an offer!
The stretch looks great, retail spaces are filled and the location is as vibrant as ever.
After viewing a $1.2M condo offering at 600 N Lake Shore Drive, we cut through Streeterville's Lake Shore Park towards a Gold Coast watering hole. The views at dusk are fantastic. What a peaceful setting for a walk, run or game in the middle of one of Chicago's most bustling locations.
Many Chicagoans, and Lincoln Park residents specifically, have seen this famous "Cows on Parade" statue perched over row homes at 310-312 W Dickens. However, if the owner were to sell and you were purchasing the home; is the cow included?
It depends. When writing a purchase contract we ask for any items that appear to be included in the sale...such as attached surround sound speakers, custom shelving systems and cow statues over the door.
When listing a property for sale, we advise clients to remove and/ or replace any personal or attached property they want to move with them. If you want your chandelier or custom shelves, remove and replace them. Even when you state the exclusions in a listing description and at showings they still may be sticking points in a sale negotiation.
Bob came across this one bedroom, one and one-half baths Astor Street coach house rental while working with clients this weekend. The asking rent for the unique furnished courtyard property is $4,000 a month. There is no information listed anywhere on the Internet...and probably none needed.
We find these homes while walking the neighborhoods with clients. Call Bob for a Gold Coast rental, purchase or sale 773-572-4402
A well appointed free standing single family home in a very good north side location...steps from parks, groceries and minutes walk from the Lincoln Park neighborhood. The home has attached two car garage, spacious rooms, luxury built-ins and two large custom walk-in closets in the master bedroom. Enjoy an xtra-wide and open layout I feel is better than any attached town home at this price anywhere on the North Side. I'm serious. Buy a true single family house in this neighborly gated community.

Just west of Abraham Lincoln Elementary school district in Lincoln Park is the now "buzz worthy" Oscar Mayer Magnet School attendance boundaries. The school is located in the vibrant DePaul University neighborhood amongst top notch educational facilities, million dollar homes and vast local retail.
In the first six months of 2011 , about 18 single family homes sold (excluding row homes) in Oscar Mayer attendance boundaries.
The median price for a single family home in district was about $1,500,000. The highest sale was $4,525,000 and the lowest was $875,000.
Only one home in the district was sold as a foreclosure for $2,225,000 ($25K over list price) . The house needed hundreds of thousands of finish work.
Parents and students work in the Oscar Mayer award winning garden.

Parent "buzz" and perceived school performance greatly affect demand and housing prices in a school's attendance boundaries. Even comparable homes on the same couple blocks, but different school boundaries, can vary in demand and price.

1808 W Diversey, House L is located on the desired far north end of the Picardy Place development. Built in 1997 and in "like new" condition, this true single family fee simple house offers a great town house alternative. The wide and smart floor-plan is bright and very functional.

I stopped in to look at the above open house last weekend on North Paulina Street. The house is in the Hamilton school district on a gorgeous block adjacent to the Blaine school district. Hamilton school stretches across some of the best areas of Lakeview.
Despite the house being every bit as nice as $850,000 to $900,000 houses in the former mentioned school districts, it sits unsold at an $865,000 asking price. If it was located on the opposite north east corner in Blaine school it would be sold at list price.
Hamilton is not a "buzz" school, but I only see upside. You can get a bargain on a house in this district before it turns into the next Coonley!
