A recent report cites Lincoln Park leading Chicago in million dollar property sales in the 3rd quarter of 2017. The rate of both residential and commercial tear downs in Lincoln Park may seem shocking. But the redevelopment payoff is big. Let's take a look at over-all Lincoln Park single family home sales as we near the end of 2017.

Single family home sales January 1st to November 10th
176 single family homes have been recorded closed from January 1st to November 10th according to MREDLLC.  The median price of a sold home is $1,565,000. Over the same period in 2012 (as the market was taking off) 164 single family homes closed with a median price around $1.2 million.

146 of those Lincoln Park single family home closings this year were $1 million dollars and over.  That edges out North Center which sold 140 single family homes $1 million dollars and over.

The highest Lincoln Park sale was 542 West Grant Place, Chicago IL 60614 for $7,200,000. 

With many impressive properties new and old it is not hard to imagine Lincoln Park leading the city in million dollar sales.
