Two of Chicago’s most sought after neighborhoods have seen an increase in median home prices compared to this time last year. The Loop, an area which includes the South Loop, Printers Row, the Loop and Streeterville, shows an increase of nearly 8% compared to this time last year with a price of just over $350,000.

Pearson on the Park

Great real estate opportunities that are not available in every economic season -- are often uncovered during the most uncertain of times in each economic cycle.
Consider Chicago's downtown real estate market, for instance.

A market featuring truly extraordinary values.
Ted points out that prices at Pearson on the park like these will likely translate into the sort of equity growth only those who get in at the bottom of a market typically realize. "I really do believe

Everybody knows Chicago has a bungalow-belted South Side, a cosmopolitan North Side and a vast, industrialized West Side, all radiating from a commercial center called the Loop.  But does Chicago have an East Side?  And if so, wouldn’t it be underwater?   Well, it used to be.  In fact, it never existed at all till the rest of the town burned down!   The Streeterville neighborhood is a dynamic lakeside community east of Michigan Avenue and north of the Chicago River, a once-derelict landfill that evolved into the one of the most exclusive, upscale parts of town.  Its name honors the memory of “Cap’n” George Streeter, a 19th-century con man who ran his boat aground on a sandbar one day and then decided, what the heck, he’d just stay put…
