We have clients looking at two and three bedrooms Loop condos up to one million ($1,000,000) for their next home. It's a fun, bustling area where they walk to work and take in any number of cultural events any day of the week! We checked out Marina City for a renovation project. Although smaller and low in the price-point the great balconies are a big draw for our buyers.

MLS listings at iconic Marina City condo towers suggest their are 896 total condo units in the towers.  The past 12 months show 37 closed deals and over the past 24 months we see 88 closed deals on our MLS (MREDLLC).

However, only 5  two bedroom, two baths units have closed in the past 24 months ranging from $360,000 to most recently $565,000 for a completely remodeled unit on a high floor. The $565,000 was by far the biggest sale number by far for the building for some time.
