January 15, 2007Ukrainian 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."

November 10, 2006chicago commercial real estate...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 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!

October 24, 2006Lincoln Park Real EstateLincoln Park Illinois Real Estate
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. Posted by at 06:45 PM

July 26, 2006Lakeshore awash in sales of pricey homes
If you're still dreaming about buying a $1 million home overlooking Lake Michigan, it's time for a reality check. Beginning prices these days for Lake Michigan waterfront homes in Allegan and Ottawa counties start well above that. "The $1 million homes aren't out there any more and, if any come on the market, they sell quickly," said Summit Properties Associate Broker Beth Foley, whose company specializes in waterfront properties. Between Saugatuck and Grand Haven recently, eight waterfront homes were listed at $2 million and above, said Foley, a 20-year veteran of lakefront real estate sales. Two other small cottages on small lots were listed at $750,000 each. Farther north, in Muskegon County, just two Big Lake properties are listed below the million-dollar mark. "People put big prices on them, and the buyers are paying the asking price," said Foley noting many old cottages being bought are torn down and replaced with $2 million to $3 million year-round homes. It's called land recycling. Lake Michigan property has been climbing by 12 to 15 percent annually since 2000, and Foley said the majority of buyers are coming from Chicago and as far away as California, where houses miles from the water often sell for $1 million or more. "It makes Lake Michigan property look like a bargain," Foley said. Holland's Greenridge Realty broker Graham Duryee said prices rise the farther south you go. "It's Chicago buyers," said Duryee, who like Foley and Gleason are members of the West Michigan Lakeshore Association of Realtors, which covers the coast from Glenn to Whitehall. Realtors, home builders and buyers agree on one thing when it comes to lakefront property. God isn't making any more of it. "I specialize in building waterfront homes. It's the only place I feel confident in building and knowing I'll have a buyer," said Tony Zahn, president of Zahn Builders Inc. He said that while home sales on the water have been soaring, the rest of the residential market around the Holland area has been flat, primarily because of corporate layoffs. Inland lakefront properties such as those on Holland's Lake Macatawa, still can be bought for $500,000 to $800,000. "Muskegon is also very attractive for waterfront buyers at Vida Nova, which offers 40 new residential units on Lake Muskegon, priced from $300,000 to $400,000," Zahn said. The $15 million development overlooks the lake, a channel and a private boardwalk. Spring Lake Realtor Mark Gleason said condo properties with water views still can be found in Grand Haven and Muskegon at affordable prices. "There's some very good deals out there right now on Muskegon Lake for three-bedroom (condominium units) for $300,000 to $400,000 overlooking the lake," Gleason said. That used to be the price of lakefront cottages a dozen years ago. Not any more. Posted by bkleinhe at 08:40 AM
