News from Northwestern University featured Chappell Elementary School for their story on the new required recess at Chicago Public Schools.
Chappell School is located in the Ravenswood neighborhood of Lincoln Square. Our Kindergarten son loves the recess and comes home talking about new
games he has learned. Our PRE-K daughter can't wait to move-up!
What's really cool about the recess program with Playworks is
many higher grade students help as "leaders". Older kids around the
school (and neighborhood) are always saying hello, waving to our sonbecause they interact with him as leaders. It's
neat to see the kids supportive and welcoming across the grade levels!
The recess, lunch-time and other activity student-helpers at Chappell
foster this excellent atmosphere.
There are many great school choices in Chicago neighborhoods. You my be surprised at the facilities and rigor at many CPS neighborhood schools.
Navy Pier is actually fun for Chicagoans too. Things like Big Art make this so.
A couple weekends ago our family enjoyed the Chicago Toy and Game Fair at Navy Pier...but it's just as enjoyable having the kids run around the plazas and pier as being inside the convention halls.
Our kids pretended this sculpture was a "prison". They escaped.
I was out last weekend with clients looking for a high floor condo home in the $500,000s with great outdoor space in southern Lakeview and Lincoln Park. We saw an East Lakeview property with an awesome roof top terrace and lake views (between the high rises). Legitimate Belmont Harbor views too! The surrounding city views are always interesting.

This roof deck came with a sprawling vintage penthouse unit that feels like a house in the sky. However, some of the vintage building trade offs were a little too much for these buyers and off to Lincoln Park we went.
Our relocated client just closed on his Ravenswood, Lincoln Square condo sale today at 1949 W Leland #3.

Gold Coast condo associations and co-op boards may have interesting rules
I was just looking through Gold Coast apartments for sale with a client. One listing made clear no dogs, but "Cats allowed, weight limit". How big does the cat have to be before there's trouble? Is there a condo association scale? We've often seen weight limits for dogs so I guess this is only fair! More Gold Coast posts HERE
The Old Town Triangle is part of the Lincoln Park neighborhood along Chicago's north lakefront. It's
bounded by North Ave (1600 N), Armitage Ave (2000 N), Lincoln Park and a
line drawn from the intersection of Lincoln Ave and Armitage Ave south
to Larrabee St (600 W). The line which is the western boundary of the
Old Town Triangle generally corresponds to the right-of-way of what was
formerly Ogden Avenue. ZIP code: 60614
The roughly 2 square block radius in East Lincoln Park surrounding Old Town Triangle...a fantastic location in Chicago
We'll use a square shape above to cover the neighborhood between the major streets of West Armitage to West North Avenue and North Clark to North Larrabee to get a better look at sales and the types of properties availablein -and adjacent to - the Old Town Triangle Historic District.
The row houses on the 1800 block of North Lincoln present the opportunity for a great door!
Single family home and row home sales in 2012 (JAN 1st to NOV 19th
There have been 19 closed single family homes and row homes in the greater Old Town Triangle area so far this year. The median price was about $1.2 million. This may seem a little low for this location compared to Lincoln Park's mediansingle family home pricethis year of about $1.3M. However, the homes in the actual historic district of East Lincoln Park are much smaller on average and often feature less luxury amenity in the historic homes in exchange for the privileged location.
The highest single family home (totally detached) sale this year is $3,133,365 at 1839 N Cleveland. This was a re-sale of a 2000 built 6 bedrooms home on a 24x125 Chicago lot. The highest row house sale so far is 1910 N Clark for $1.975 million. This wider than usual 4 bedrooms row house at 23 feet wide features a rear addition with attached garage and elevator.
Condos (and town houses with condo association)
There are many ways to experience the East Lincoln Park, Old Town Triangle lifestyle. 132 attached condos and town houses closed from January 1st to November 19th this year. This is a large number of units for this relatively small area and up from the 94 units sold same time last yearThis also includes a few high rise buildings along North Clark Street and a small portion of North LaSalle which increase the density of available condos.
Condo Prices Thehighest sale for an attached unit this year was 1813 N Mohawk Unit A for $1,230,000. The 3000 sq/ft, 4 bedrooms end-unit town house sold within a week after going on the market. The lowest condo sale in our boundaries so far was a mere $105,000 at 1850 N Clark # 2406 (Hemingway House). The high floor studio has great city views. I've gone to a couple terrific events at the Hemingway House party room and sun deck...great views and A+ location to impress friends and associates.
24 condos sold for $200,000 or under. All but three were in high rise buildings and the assessments that go with them. The other three were small one-bedroom vintage conversions. The median price for all attached unit sales (132)in the is area is $320,000 this year. 94 units sold with a median price of $395,000 same time last year in 2011.
Row house or high rise... there are many budget options providing the Old Town Triangle lifestyle
Bob managed to send me this inside joke on his quick jaunt to New York City. If you're a fan of designers Robert and Cortney Novogratz, you're in on it too!
Production trailers outside the Novogratz residence...hopefully for some new shows soon!
This year's official Thanksgiving turkey art comes from our barely 3 year old Amalia. The complex, multilayer abstract was produced in her renowned Pre-K art studio (her classroom). I must admit it's a much more thought provoking work than our oldest son's at 3 1/2 years old (produced in the same classroom).
