I will have a restored two-flat coming on the market in the Ravenswood Manor, Albany Park neighborhoods. Because it is located near the intersection of Whipple and Leland, I use the two neighborhood names because the property is pretty much on the designated borders. But these things are a bit subjective. That said, you will have the best of both worlds in each neighborhood. You can also walk to the Lincoln Square neighborhood.
Please call for a showing before it hits market after the holiday. We are prepping for photos and finishing a few details before open market. This is a move-in, owner quality building. Move right in and own a building, rent one unit and pay the same monthly as a two bedroom condo... no kidding.
Here is a list of some of the restorations and improvements:
Removed wood paneling and drop ceilings
Removed paint from woodwork
Removed paint and plaster from fireplaces
Restored original mantels
Removed ceilings and added insulation (50%)

Actually, the western most border of Ravenswood Manor is Sacremento. So this two-flat is really just in Albany Park. Nice try, though.
Well there "anonymous", if you read the title and post, I never infer it's in lovely Ravenswood Manor, but in in the area of the two neighborhoods.
As well, Sacramento is a whole half block east of Whipple, so almost on the border seems about right.
Neighborhood borders, officially drawn or not drawn, are subjective.
At least I didn't call it "Albany Manor" which I have seen!
Besides, I'm pointing out the neighborhoods you would enjoy when living here, so there's my "nice try". See you there tonight when I show the building!
