Bob was crisscrossing Lincoln Park yesterday and noticed all the gardening activity and tucked away green space. Any way you look at it, greening up your property improves your real estate investment value and can be therapeutic!
Whether creating your own personal oasis, community garden or going off the grid... Chicagoans go green wherever they can.
Parents work, kids play in this community garden below:
A nice little green oasis...
The Sheffield Garden Walk is the second-oldest garden walk in the Chicagoland area and one of the largest. This year’s event will be held this weekend on July 17-18.

Some of the most interesting things about researching and viewing properties are the places you didn't know you would see.
Here's a spectacular roof-top garden tucked away along West Grand Avenue in East Village. This is mostly a concrete jungle with old grungy building facades.... which makes this more fascinating.
We were looking at a 3rd floor new construction two bedroom, two bathroom condo with garage parking at the 1800 W block of Grand. The condo was actually really spacious, modern and well finished at $399K. We peeked at the neighbors garden from the back deck.
East Village and Ukrainian Village real estate markets have been hit as hard as most "third ring" neighborhoods just outside downtown and the longer gentrified and core neighborhoods. But it offers an opportunity to create your own spaces or to purchase some very cool contemporary properties a short commute away from your elusive high paying gig in the Loop. The neighborhoods have a quiet, sometimes understated industrial feel that appeals to hipsters, artists and those looking for a custom home for half the price or more than Lincoln Park. And look at those roof-top gardens!
