DPAM Debuts New Location in Lincoln Park, Attracts Interested Home Owners

Lindsey Anderson — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:50:50 +0000

For years students and art lovers interested in checking out the DePaul Art Museum (DPAM) collection were forced to suffer the low ceilings and small, cramped rooms of the Richardson Library’s exhibition space in the Loop. Last month, however, DPAM moved its collection to a new, improved location at 935 W. Fullerton Avenue. The new exhibition space features high ceilings, filtered light and nearly twice as much square footage as the Richardson Library. “I imagine that I’ll be coming far more often,” Logan Square resident Andy Bolduc said when asked about the museum’s new home. “It’s only a short bus ride away from my apartment, and it’s literally steps away from the Fullerton Red Line stop. Its location is unbeatable, and its collection is better than ever.” But Bolduc isn’t the only one who intends to start visiting DPAM and its Lincoln Park neighborhood more often. Other arty types have been moving to Lincoln Park in greater and greater numbers in recent years, and there’s no doubt that more of them will be moving in, now that another art museum has been added to the neighborhood. Houses and condos have been selling particularly well in busy, artistically inclined areas of the neighborhood, like the intersection of Lincoln Avenue, Fullerton Avenue, and Halstead Street, where classy condos and stately single-family homes tend to cluster in the greatest numbers. Listings like this one, found on the CondoDomain blog, have been selling like hotcakes lately, and real estate experts expect them to continue to do well as long as Lincoln Park maintains its charming, arty, intellectual character.

Lindsey Anderson — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:49:58 +0000

Buying your first home was likely one of the most difficult, rewarding experiences of your life. You probably spent months pouring through books, magazines, newspapers and blogs—looking for help anywhere you could find it. You probably also logged some long hours scrutinizing your personal finances, crunching numbers and questioning your decisions. But you took the plunge anyway! You fell in love with a home, you decided to buy it, and you moved in as soon as you could. You were happy with your new home, and you wanted to make it your own immediately! Unfortunately, you may have found the prospect of decorating your new home just as daunting as buying it. But don’t worry—that’s where we come in! In our regular feature, Decorating De-mystified, we’ll help you turn that house of yours into a real home! This week we’ll be focusing on clearing your space of clutter… Getting rid of junk isn’t easy. But you’ll need to learn how to toss out your old baseball cards and ticket stubs if you want to live in a clean, streamlined home. Home design expert Peter Walsh offers these tips to home owners interested in living clutter-free: Tackle messes one room at a time. When you buy something new, practice the “in-out rule:” For every one new item, get rid of an old one. Create intimacy in the master bedroom. Remember that improvements in one room can spread to the rest of the house. Make cleaning up fun for your kids. Create a vision for the room you’re cleaning. Teach your kids how to sort. Use a hanger system to determine which clothes you wear most. Ask yourself if you really need something. If you hesitate, you don’t. Establish a “magic triangle” in your kitchen between the stove, refrigerator and the sink. Keep the items you use most in that area. Identify useful utensils with the cardboard box test.

Cubs Player Regrets River Forest Purchase

Lindsey Anderson — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:49:30 +0000

The Chicago Cubs have been having a bit of a rocky season, both on and off the field. The Cubs haven’t won a World Series since 1908, which means that Chicago’s home town heroes have been striking out each season for more than 100 years. But a few players have also been striking out in real estate. Pitcher Carlos Zambrano, for instance, is struggling to sell his suburban home, located in sleepy River Forest, at the moment. When Zambrano bought the home, which was built in 1999, he paid $1.199 million for it, but sources speculate that he’ll be lucky to $900,000 for it now. According to the Tribune ” He bought the six-bedroom, nearly 4,000-square-foot house in 2006 for $1.199 million. It has four baths, a loft, a finished lower level with a large recreation room, a three-car garage and a sunken great room with a wall of windows and vaulted ceiling.” “Zambrano lived in the home for a year and a half but decided he wanted to live closer to Wrigley Field, said listing agent Jessica Rivera of Weichert Realtors Nickel Group. In 2008, “Big Z” bought a six-bedroom, 6,700-square-foot house in Lakeview for $2.66 million.” Zambrano has been trying to sell the home off and on since 2008, but so without success. His luck may soon change, though, as real estate experts report that the housing market in River Forest may be improving. “The average listing price for homes there for the week ending September 21 was $543,392, down 0.4 percent from the previous week,” Trulia reports. “The median sales price from June 2011 to August 2011 was $545,000, up 17 percent from the same period in 2010. ” Hopefully Zambrano will be able to hit a home-run with the sale of his River Forest house. Maybe then he’ll be able to hit a few home runs in Wrigley Field, as well.

Decorating De-mystified: Color Can Be Your Friend

In our regular feature, Decorating De-mystified, we’ll help you turn that house of yours into a real home! This week we’ll be focusing on decorating with color… Designer Mark McCauley encourages home owners to follow these two simple tips when working with color: Tip 1. Choose a color scheme from the largest pattern in the space. If you’ve got patterned upholstery, an Oriental rug or large piece of artwork, pluck colors you like from the pattern. For a neutral wall paint color, look to the pattern’s whites and beiges. Tip 1. Start with the formal areas of the house. Specifically, the living room, dining room and entry way. Choose a color scheme for those areas first, then pull one color from the scheme. For example, take the red sofa and tone it down (say, to burgundy) for an accent in more private spaces such as the den, office or bedroom.

Open House Chicago Open Eyes

Lindsey Anderson — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 15:51:35 +0000

February may be just around the corner, and it will surely bring snow flurries and cold temperatures to Chicago, but the weather has been unusually warm for most of the season, and many people have been taking advantage of the crisp winter air. Among them are the thousands of people who turned out to participate in Open House Chicago, an architecture tour designed to appeal to nosy neighbors and potential home buyers throughout Chicago and abroad. According to WBEZ, Open House Chicago “gave the public access to about 130 nooks and crannies that are normally off limits, such as the store windows at Macy’s. The Chicago Architecture Foundation estimates participants made about 100,000 site visits.” These tour sites included chapel, Frank Lloyd Wright designed homes, historical society buildings, museums, office buildings, and—of course—single family homes and condos currently on the market. “Paul Bluestone, who heads the Rogers Park/West Ridge Historical Society, says this mix was on purpose: ‘It’s a United Nations of Chicago. It’s one of the most diverse communities in the country. Having a tour which focused only on the architectural relevance of some of the buildings would kind of miss the point a little bit.’” Bluestone went on to say that “I think it’s great for people to be looking in places they haven’t looked before and asking questions about buildings and history. It’s great to have curious people wandering around.” And we certainly agree with Bluestone. Chicagoans interested in purchasing a home before the holidays ought to take advantage of this warm Chicago weather while they can and visit as many houses and condos as possibly. In a single weekend, for instance, an interested home buyer could check out dozens of available homes in neighborhoods like Bucktown, Wicker Park, and Lincoln Park.

The Neighborhood Files: Bronzeville

Lindsey Anderson — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 15:50:43 +0000

Chicago , perhap more than most cities, a city of neighborhoods. From the broad boulevards of Lincoln Park, to the arty avenues of Pilsen, each and every neighborhood in this city possesses its own distinct energy and unique charm. Each neighborhood is worth learning a little more about. So, every other week, we’ll be featuring another neighborhood on this section of the blog, and we’ll interview someone living in that neighborhood—Someone capable of giving us the inside scoop on their ‘hood! This week I sat down with Joyce Dupler and talked to her about her experience living in Brozeville. Q: How long have you been living in Bronzeville? A: I’ve been living here for more than ten years—I moved here in February of 2001. It’s strange to think that I’ve been in the same place for over a decade! Q: Do you own or rent? A: I own. I haven’t relocated since I moved to my house in 2000—I love it too much! Q: Why did you decide to settle down in Bronzeville? A: I was looking for a reasonably priced place in a quiet neighborhood relatively close to downtown. My Bronzeville home fit the bill perfectly! Q: What do you like most about the neighborhood?

Chicago’s Architectural Triumphs: Tribune Tower

Lindsey Anderson — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 15:48:21 +0000

Chicago is certainly a city of beautiful buildings. Steely skyscrapers dominate the skyline of the Loop. Elegant apartment buildings are scattered throughout neighborhoods like Lincoln Park and the Gold Coast. Edgy, arty lofts can be found in neighborhoods like Bucktown and Wicker Park. And many of Chicago’s museums and administrative buildings double as awe inspiring works of architecture. There is so much great architecture in Chicago that it can sometimes be hard to appreciate all of the architectural beauty of the buildings in Chicago. For that reason, we’ve decided to feature a few of our favorite architectural triumphs on our blog. This week, we’ll be taking a closer look at the architectural triumph that is The Tribune Tower. The Tribune Tower may not be one of the biggest buildings in Chicago, but it is certainly one of the most beautiful and—arguably—one of the most interesting, as well. In 1922, the owners of the Chicago Tribune decided to host an international design competition, inviting architects from all over the world to wow them with “the most beautiful and distinctive office building in the world.” Dozens of architects entered the competition, but the winning design belonged to John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood, New York-based architects with a penchant for neo-Gothic design and flying buttresses. Howells and Hood were awarded a $50,000 prize for their design, and their fame spread quickly around the world. With its sleek stone and its gorgeous gothic sensibilities, the Tower looks as beautiful now as it did in the early 1920s, and many Chicagoans cite the Tribune Tower as their favorite building in downtown Chicago. All in all, the tower, which overlooks the Chicago River and is only a stone’s throw away from other landmark buildings, like the Trump Tower, is well worth a visit.

Wrigleyville Neighborhood

Andy Nathan — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 22:03:47 +0000

When you are talking about classic Chicago, it does not get any better than Wrigleyville. The area is named after the iconic Chicago Cubs baseball team that has played at Wrigley Field since 1914. Unfortunately, the Cubs have never won a World Series in this amazing structure. However, the area is, by no means, a loser. Wrigleyville is one of the liveliest and interesting parts of the entire city. From John Barleycorn and the Cubby Bear to the great restaurants that surround Wrigley, this is a great place to live if you enjoy a good time. During the summer it feels as if there is a game going on every day. Traffic gets a little heavy, but the Brown and Red Line that goes through the area is a quick and easy way to get into downtown in about 5-10 minutes. [mappress] The housing prices in this area are a bit steep because the area is so highly prized by Cubs fans who want to live close to their perennially losing team year after year. That being said the condos and homes in the area are top of the line, so people can get their money’s worth from the investment. Additionally, since this is a smaller neighborhood than the larger East and West Lakeview, it is a more prized area to own property. This area is one Cubs World Series pennant away from being the best neighborhood in Chicago. In the meantime, you have the “Lovable Losers” and their fans to keep you company on a warm Chicago night as you eat at one of the many beer gardens in the area.

Partnership For New Communities Tax Incentives Ending Tomorrow!

Andy Nathan — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 22:02:27 +0000

This deal is ending quickly, so get in on it while it is hot! The Partnership for New Communities is offering $15,000 tax incentives until December 31, 2011. Normally the offer is for $10,000, but that was increased and extended for the holiday season. Just to give you a little background on the Partnership for New Communities: they are a non-profit set up by civic and business leaders to reshape the public housing projects throughout Chicago. They look to re-invent the neighborhoods by encouraging investment from business leaders in the area. Below you will find three developments that are targeted by the partnership for rejuvenation where you can use the $15,000 tax incentive: Lake Park Crescent, 4012 S. Oakenwald Ave: 15 condos are available. Park Boulevard, 3560 S. Federal St: 20 condos and townhomes are for sale. Parkside of Old Town, 465 W. Division St: one condo remains for sale. The great thing about these new construction developments is that the money can be used for the down payment and/or closing costs making it affordable for prospective home owners to dip back into the real estate market. Coupled with the fact that the average home price in Illinois has dropped 31% since its peak in 2008, this makes it an even better deal. Contact our office if you are interested in any of the projects above or have any other condos that you need help finding.

200 N. Dearborn

Andy Nathan — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 21:55:23 +0000

If you have ever wanted to live downtown, then you should take a look at 200 N. Dearborn. This stunning condo complex is located right in the heart of downtown. It is right in the middle of iconic theaters, such as the Goodman Theater and the Ford Center for Performing Arts. Additionally, you are just a quick three-minute walk from Millennium Park and Michigan Avenue. The Goodman Theater is actually across the street from the building, so definitely enjoy some of the great plays that they host throughout the year. Then take in some shopping or eating on nearby Michigan Avenue. However, the surrounding area is only part of the beauty of this former apartment complex that has been around since 1989, but has been re-developed in order to fit residents’ needs in the area more effectively. Some of this 47-story building’s new amenities include: an indoor swimming pool, fitness center, and terrace. Also available is a party room and on-site laundry facilities. It is like having a city within a city at your disposal. Maintenance service and 24-hour doormen, along with indoor parking, ensure that your needs are met throughout the day. The cherry on top is the pricing. Some of these units are over half off their previous prices from a few years ago. With all of the amenities in the unit, and the surrounding area’s restaurants, shows, shopping, and more you definitely get your value out of these properties. If you need some additional information about these properties, please contact CondoDomain today.
