Late last week I took a look at a renovated bungalow in Bell School district.  The new listing is priced at $750,000.  I know for many this sounds crazy... $750,000.  For a renovated "move in ready" 3 or 4 bedroom house $750,000 in North Center is good 😭.  I was 50% looking for me (my wife did not know) and 50% doing my research.  Even though I think I could get a little better price on this house I can't leave my block... even for a top rated school and great location.

The 2400 block of Berenice is just west of North Western Ave... the house is adjacent to a rental car lot. A new construction building is underway across the street. You generally get a little break on price living adjacent to commercial buildings. At the west end of the block is Revere Park.  The location is close to the many great restaurants and bars of Roscoe Village as well as awesome sports facilities.
