Under contract! Avondale condo near hip restaurants, transportation (condo unit sales way up)

3234 N California #2S is listed at $339,000.  Our clients are under contract and in attorney review period.
Avondale has become a very popular area to live as bars, restaurants, retail and transportation options meet the needs and wants of buyers.  The condo market is tight!  There are simply few condos in the neighborhood relative to eastern neighborhoods like Lake View and Edgewater.  You have to act fast when a good value is listed on the market.

The group of sharp, newer condo buildings line California near Cafe Tola and Honeybutter Fried Chicken.  This section of Avondale is centrally located close to Roscoe Village (North Center) and Logan Square hot spots.
Our buyer clients need access to the highway and the CTA Blue Line.  Avondale is a great fit.  We found the two beds, two baths condo market very competitive.  When an upgraded newer unit hit the market we were one of the first to see it. Our clients secured the contract that evening.  They have completed attorney review and we are awaiting closing.

Views of Brands Park right off the back deck and roof! Awesome for some tennis, softball, basketball, kids/adult activities, exercise and dog walking!  Personally, I make living by a large city park a priority.
