We've been working with a client looking for a single family home in the East Village neighborhood of West Town. The single family home prices rebounded along with most of the Chicago market. The area is hip and welcomes modern architecture and style.  As with many city neighborhoods purchasing a single family home is competitive.

The highest sale by far for 2013 was 1019 N Wolcott for $2,075,000.  The former bathhouse was converted into a contemporary masterpiece on one of the best East Village blocks.

The lowest priced single family home sale was a steal at $203,796 at 1632 West Ohio.  The all cash deal was bought in September by an active developer in the area.  A modern "sustainable" new build is probable and maybe even built by now!

2011 - 28 homes closed with a median price of $565,000
2010 - 22 homes closed with a median price of $575,000
