Would you believe me if I told you this pocket of Would you believe me if I told you this pocket of European inspired homes is just a 5-7 minute walk from Wrigley Field and a 10 minute walk from the shops / restaurants in the Southport Corridor!

Follow @modernchicagohomes for beautiful homes in Chicago! 

Take a stroll down Alta Vista Terrace, where history and architecture meet! 🌟 One of Samuel Eberly Gross’s last developments, this iconic street was inspired by London row houses after his trip to Europe. 🏘️ Designed alongside architect Joseph C. Brompton, the block features 40 unique homes, each part of a cohesive yet contrasting design with varying colors, rooflines, and styles. Most of the homes are two-story Roman brick beauties, except for the four three-story graystones that anchor the center. In 1971, Alta Vista Terrace proudly became Chicago’s first designated historic district. 🏙️✨ 

Only 1 of the 40 homes has sold in the last 2 years for $1.1 million - it’s a desirable enclave of homes for those that love architecture.

🏈 Big news for Northwestern football fans! Northwe 🏈 Big news for Northwestern football fans! Northwestern has unveiled plans for the new $850 million Ryan Field, set to open in 2026. Designed as a “year-round community asset,” the stadium will have a 35,000-seat capacity, making it the smallest in the Big Ten. Despite its size, it promises a state-of-the-art experience with all-weather seat coverage, a canopy to enhance home-field acoustics, and nearly double the required ADA seating, making it the most accessible stadium ever built.

This project is expected to generate a $1.3 billion economic impact in the Chicago area, including $659 million for Evanston. The development includes significant opportunities for minority- and women-owned businesses and community benefits like parks, event spaces, and youth sports facilities.

The stadium is more than just a football venue—it’s envisioned as a hub for community events, concerts, and more. It’s a game-changer for Northwestern and the region! 🎉

A new condo development in Fulton Market was prese A new condo development in Fulton Market was presented to the local community by @sulodevelopment - the developer behind highly successful West Loop projects nearby including the Embry & Hayden.

The 3 phase project will include approximately 250 condos. To enhance pedestrian accessibility, the design separates the three buildings with two public pocket parks, creating inviting spaces and a more pleasant walking experience for those passing by.

Designed by @kohnpedersenfox and @parkfowler.plus , the project embraces Fulton Market’s industrial and historic character, featuring predominantly brick facades that blend seamlessly with the neighborhood’s character.

Phase one should begin sales around fall of 2025, with a potential groundbreaking a year later if sales go well and deliver in 2028.

Getting a home market-ready often takes a team eff Getting a home market-ready often takes a team effort! A skilled real estate agent can streamline the entire process, even when the clients live out of state.

This particular home had been rented for five years, and my clients lived in California.  I took care of coordinating everything: landscaping, painting, handyman services, floor refinishing, carpet cleaning, HVAC repairs, staging, and a deep clean to prepare the property for listing.

We focused on high-ROI updates that could be completed quickly, knowing we were entering the later part of the Chicago real estate season. The result? A premium sale price of our full asking price, even compared to homes with more recent updates in the area.
