Ukrainian Viilage Condos, Ukrainian Village Real Estate!

Ukrainian Village...

"The Ukrainian Village District contains an excellent cross-section of residential building types that provides a visual history of immigration settlement on Chicago's Near West Side. Together, they form an important residential streetscape, one that tells the story of German, Polish, and, ultimately, Ukrainian immigrants who settled in the area throughout the late 1800s and early 1900s. An extremely well-preserved collection of workers cottages, two- and three-flats, single family residences, and large apartment buildings, nearly one out of every three of the buildings in the district was developed by the early influential Chicago real estate developer William D. Kerfoot. The first real estate developer to reestablish his business after the Great Fire in 1871, Kerfoot became the embodiment of the "I Will" spirit of Chicago. He reopened his office the day after the fire ended with a sign on his door reading: "W.D. Kerfoot. All gone but , wife, children and energy." These unpretentious residences feature distinguished workmanship and finely crafted details."

Welcome home! This Valley Creek single-family has just been meticulously rehabbed and is ready for a new owner. Want to know what's been done? Where do we start... How about the new kitchen. Everything is brand new: maple cabinets, stainless steel appliances, sink, pantry, and gorgeous granite counter tops.

The master bath has been transformed into your own personal spa. Floor to ceiling travertine tile makes this a true 'master bath'. New vanity and toilet finish off a glorious transformation to this bathroom.

The cozy family room has vaulted ceilings, new mantle, carpet, ceiling fan, and provincial brick fireplace.

The rehab doesn't stop there... New paint, roof, carpet, light fixtures on the first floor, and hardwood floors in the entry, half bath, eat-in area, and kitchen. New mini-blinds, upgraded second bath including vanity, mirror, cabinet, and travertine tile and new hardware.

The lower level has it's own frig and oven, can we say 'perfect in law'! Or use it as an amazing t.v. and entertainment room. The lower level is also complete with it's own full bath. Tons of storage and light complete this lower level.

This beautiful home sits on an enormous corner lot. The expansive backyard is a gardeners dream.

Close to the Metra, I-90, schools and shops. All you need to do is move in!

Chicago Investment Properties!

To search for 2-4 flats, apartment buildings, office buildings or any other type of investment property in Chicago, it's just a matter of changing your search criteria when searching the multiple listing service.

1. Location. What part of the city do you want to search? It's usually best to start by choosing a county, and if too many results are returned, then choose specific areas within that county. The database is only as smart as complete as the agent who entered the data. Many agents don't enter the specific area of the city where the property is located, they simply enter the address and county. By searching by county first, you are assured that you are seeing ALL properties for sale.

2. Property Type. You MUST choose the type of property you seek, your choices are:

Multi-Family 5+ Units
Multi-Unit 2-4 Units
Industrial
Retail Store
Office/Tech

3. Save Search. Once the search is run, and if you are happy with the results, save the search and choose to have the results of that search emailed to you each day. Each day when the system is updated with the latest listings that have been bought or sold, the system will automatically run your search and notify you of any new results which match your search criteria!

Lincoln Park Real Estate

Lincoln Park Illinois Real Estate
Ron@SaffronRealtyGroup.com with any Lincoln Park questions!


Lincoln Park
Lincoln Park is located on the North side of the Chicago, slightly above the Loop between Diversey and the Lake. People who are not part of the local community tend to concentrate in the area near the Lake, but the heart of the neighborhood is along Fullerton and Halsted. Lincoln Park is just a stone throw away from the downtown – about 20 minutes train ride or a ten minute drive to Kennedy. The village is very well connected both by rail and bus services.

Lincoln Park prides itself to be one the most attractive neighborhoods in Chicago. It not only has elegant houses, but also boasts of great location and view. Lincoln Park draws its name from being ‘the happening place’ from many angles. There are a number of exciting sports to indulge and the beautiful area surrounding it gives a surreal feeling to the residents. The economy in Lincoln Park is fast paced, and one finds to their surprise that you can get anything that you would get in the big cities right there in Lincoln Park. Its fame of being a fun place maybe it is derived from the fact that it is populated mainly by youngsters who have established themselves in the recent years. Being a young community it enjoys life and promotes a culture of healthy economic competitiveness, which gives it its fast pace. The beauty of its locale is owned to the fact that Lincoln Park was almost a century back a multiple amalgamation of orchards. It was in the late 1970s that the Government applied itself to transform this area into a homestead location.

Real estate in Lincoln Park will suit every pocket and definitely every taste. It has apartment buildings as well as condominiums. However, the majority of the houses are apartments of maximum four floors, each consisting of two or three apartments. Another characteristic of Lincoln Park is row houses which have a long attachment of rooms. These are the most expensive. The housing price ranges between $600,000 to $2 million.

Lincoln Park has a great variety of houses available for rent as well. The most favorite and sought after rental properties are the apartments having two to three bedrooms. These range between $1200 to $2500 per month. Most of the se apartments are built in such a way that each has a lake view. This arrangement is actually one of the most attractive parts of Lincoln Park housing lots. The houses are regularly renovated and the outward appearance of the residential areas is exquisite. The only downside here is that most of the buildings do not permit parking.

The Lincoln Park has six hospitals in its area, and as many as eight schools. It also prides itself with the presence of the De Paul University.

For entertainment, there are a few famous parks in the area: the free Lincoln Park Zoo and the Lincoln Park Conservatory, and Oz Park. Besides, the inmates enjoy fishing, swimming, golf course and a great variety of international cuisine. A novelty, Lincoln Park has a Theatre on the Lake.

For all your Lincoln Park needs...

What are Blogs?

Web Blogs Defined, Explained and Understood
by Sharon Housley ©Copyright 2004

What are Blogs?
Having heard the term previously but not having paid much
attention most are just to afraid to show their ignorance
and ask the question, what is a blog? Lets face it; the term
blog does not conjure pleasant images. Blogs are web logs
that are updated regularly, usually on a daily basis. They
contain information related to a specific topic. In some
cases blogs are used as daily diaries about people's
personal lives, political views, or even as social
commentaries. The truth of the matter is that blogs can be
shaped into whatever you, the author, want them to be.

Where Did Blogs Come From?
The roots of blogging can be traced back to the mid 1990's. Who
the very first blogger actually was is unclear, as the art of
blogging did not really take hold until 1999. The original
"weblogs" were link-driven sites with personal commentaries.
The very first blogs were human guided Internet web tours. While
initially thought of as diaries or online journals, blogs have
evolved into the latest fresh web content.

The Future of Blogs
A buzz word in techie circles, "blogging" is the wave of the
future. Whether it's a fad, or proves to be a new way to
communicate with existing and potential customers it deserves
at the very least a cursory look.

Why is Blogging Helpful to Businesses or Individuals?
Just as animated .gifs were once cool, blogging is the trendy
thing to do. That does not mean that it is not beneficial to
businesses. Webmasters struggling to keep fresh, attractive
content on their websites to lure visitors back, have found
blogs to be the answer. Content is a necessity for online
businesses, both for purposes of being found by search engines,
but also because it gives visitors a reason to come back.

Now that we have established that blogs are not only trendy but
also beneficial to businesses, it's important to understand how
they can be used to your advantage. We currently manage and
update two blogs on a daily basis. The first is our new business
blog at:

http://www.notepage.net/blog.htm

This professional business blog allows us the opportunity to
tell potential, or existing customers industry news, updates,
or generally how mobile or paging software can be used in
specific situations to alleviate problems. The bottom line is
we control the content. It's updated daily, which increases the
chances that search engines will spider on a regular basis and
it helps with page rank because it's been submitted to all the
blogging directories. Initially started on a whim, we've found
it beneficial to report tips, tricks or make visitors aware of
new regulations related to the mobile or paging industry.

The second blog we manage is at:

http://www.softwaremarketingresource.com/blog.html

This blog is less formal and contains marketing tips, or
promotional advice for software developers or online
marketers. We found that we had overflow from our monthly
newsletter. Generating a daily blog required very little
effort and assisted us in creating fresh content which our
readers told us was of significant interest.

Blogs & Your Business
The bottom line is you need to determine how a blog will benefit
your business, determine a schedule and adhere to it. Let your
readers know what to expect and when to expect it. Blogs provide
great supplemental content and direct attention to areas of your
business that you want to showcase; you direct the content but
let your readers guide you.

Creating a Blog
There are numerous online tools that can be used to create a
blog. We found that because of security concerns, it would just
be best to use a standard html program. In our case, we use
Dreamweaver and create daily posts. It's really not much more
complicated than typing an email. The content is then sent via
FTP to a web server. If you want to test the waters there are
online web-based tools that help you publish to the web
instantly. The most popular web based tool is likely Blogger
(http://www.blogger.com).

Other Advantages to Blogs
While you may initially create a blog for your existing
customers, you may find that you can attract new customers by
illustrating your expertise in a specific field. There are
numerous websites that act as "blog search engines". Be sure
to submit your sites to these websites to increase your
exposure. This will also help with your page rank and increase
the likelihood you will receive decent ranking with Google.
You can also create an RSS feed in order to syndicate blog
content and gain additional exposure.
