Good views for North Park single family home sales, unit sales up 48%

Northwestern views over the North Park community area from the (most likely) tallest building in the neighborhood.  Taken from the 8th floor of 5125 N California (Swedish Covenant's newer construction medical building) it's nothing but three stories or less until Evanston.  Chicago really flattens out east of Broadway!

North Park home sales 
71 single family homes have closed thus far in 2015 (January 1st through October 10th). This is a 48% increase in unit sales over same period 2104.  This is a nice jump from unit sales that averaged about 45 units over the past 4 years.  The median price of a house is about $315,000, up over the $280,000 from 2014. It's still a nice value for a North Side neighborhood not too, too far from the action.
