Agents like nothing more than seeing my four kids entering an open house! The familia checks out a new gut renovation  open house on the 2200 block of West Leland priced at $1,049,000.

Lincoln Square continues to be more popular than ever for home buyers.  The addition and enhancement of public and private schools, improved infrastructure and increased (and trendy) entertainment options have made palpable changes to neighborhood once slow to develop. I suspect there is a higher number of million dollar home sales than in past years as new construction homes push the envelop for this once working class enclave. Let's take a look.
