Today I want to tell you about another wonderful Chicagoland community: Lakeview. Some would call it one of the most walkable communities in Chicago. No matter where you’re at, it seems you’re always close to shopping centers and boutiques. As an added bonus, you’re just 10 minutes from Wrigley Field, and depending on where you’re at, you might also be within walking distance to the Lincoln Park Zoo. You’ll find plenty of great subcommunities within Lakeview, including East Lakeview, West Lakeview, Boystown, Wrigleyville, and Southport Corridor—one of the hottest in all of Chicago.

Today we’d like to take a moment to tell you about one of our Bronzeville listings. 

Given that Bronzeville is one of Chicago’s hottest communities, the first benefit this property boasts is its location. But this is far from being all this 4-bed, 3.5-bath home has to offer.


Local homebuyers should not let this opportunity slip by.

Coming in at 2,700 square feet, the property’s floor plan is designed with space in mind. The home comes with a finished basement, two fireplaces, a two-story family room, and a three-car garage—a rarity in Chicago. All in all, local homebuyers should not let this opportunity slip by.

But whether for this home or for another in our area, the matter of financing is also paramount. After all, connecting with a lender is the first step any buyer should take before embarking on their search. And given that conforming loan limits have recently been increased, now is a better time than ever to meet with a mortgage professional to discuss your options. 

If you have any other questions or would like more information about this amazing Bronzeville property, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

We’re standing here today in one of my listings in the Bronzeville community, which starts as far north as 26th Street and extends south as far as 48th Street. Bronzeville consists of the Douglas community as well as Grand Boulevard.

There is a lot of elegance and history behind Bronzeville. For example, jazz musicians and famous music producers like Quincy Jones grew up here. 

That’s not to mention the location: Bronzeville is essentially smack-dab in the center between Lakeshore Drive and Guaranteed Rate Field, which is right off 35th Street on the other side of the Dan Ryan Expressway (not even a mile from here). It only takes about 15 minutes to get to the Downtown area, and the public transportation makes it very easy to get into the city of Chicago.



There is a lot of elegance and history behind Bronzeville.

There is a ton of new construction in the area, as well as residential and commercial properties. You’ll find plenty of great schools, restaurants, and shopping districts in the area—you just can’t beat the placement of this amazing community.

Bronzeville is a great alternative for buyers from the northside or the loop area looking for a little more space for their families.

The community has gone through a lot of changes over the years, and right now, it is booming. Home values are getting better and better each and every year, and it’s easy to find great opportunities here.

When putting a vacant property on the market, there are certain additional considerations the seller must keep in mind during the listing process. Today we’ll cover seven such considerations, focusing specifically on home security: 

1. Have a security system in place. If you’re unable to keep an eye on your property, yourself, having a doorbell camera doing the job for you can be a good idea. 

2. Have a friend or neighbor drop in from time to time. Doing so will lower your risk of 
break-ins. 

3. Check the mail (or have someone do it for you)


To make sure the building is insured, you can ask for a copy of its insurance certificate.

4. Turn off your newspaper delivery 

5. Make sure the landscaping is maintained. 

6.  Keep all of the blinds closed. 

7. Check on the property after storms.  

Following these tips will deter burglars, keep your home in good shape, and prevent any potential issues from evolving into something more severe. If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
