Old building blues Lincoln Park

An old oil tank sits in the dug out hole of an old Lincoln Park building.

We had some business in one of our favorite areas over the weekend. North Geneva Terrace and West Fullerton area of Lincoln Park has beautiful vintage homes and buildings. With old buildings comes strange maintenance from time to time.  This owner/ landlord is in the process of removing an old oil tank. My guess is they may have had a sink hole and discovered the hollowed out area around the tank.

Watch your step!

North Geneva Terrace has some pricey homes! It is a charming throwback block to a bygone area. Only a couple properties have sold for the last two years on the 2400 to 2600 North Geneva Terrace. 2469 N Geneva is a single family home that sold for $1,250,000 in 2017.  2424-2428 North Geneva Terrace is a conjoined property (two separate vintage units) that sold for $1,520,000 in 2017. 

Working with landlords... rookies and pros!

A new kitchen was installed at this North Center two bedroom, two bath rental. Our landlord associate offers really affordable rents for the area. 

Freshly renovated vintage apartments in North Center.  We often refer tenants to this great landlord and contractor. He refers his home owner clients to us when they need to sell. We're there for you too!

A professional landlord, client and friend of ours asked us to take a look at some of his renovated rental units.  We had lunch in North Center and then took a look at finished units.  We also checked another building to consult on window and other exterior renovations.  We often act as advisers and sounding boards for our many clients. In this case we even snapped photos for the rental advertisements while there.

In this case our landlord associate wanted to get a pulse of market rate rents and improvements.  Even though he's a 30 year pro owning, renting and renovating real estate he still wants to hear from his trusted guys! We often work with his tenants and home renovation clients... finding their first homes or selling their newly renovated properties.
