Real Estate
One of Lincoln Park's most enchanting features is its amazing inventory of beautiful homes and unique housing opportunities. Home buyers have your pick of three-and four-story flats, detached single-family homes, contemporary condos and high-rise residential buildings. Although there are plenty of newer constructions, you can still find a good mix of older homes like stately greystones and aged brick walkups. And even most of those have been rehabbed to bring in modern amenities like granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and garages.
Real estate in Lincoln Park is a hot commodity in Chicago due to the prime location and beautiful landscape. Because the neighborhood has been around for such a long time most lots have very tall, majestic trees that shade the properties and provide privacy from neighbors. The houses themselves are intriguing examples of architecture with a variety of designs including Victorian, workman's cottage, traditional frame, French chateau, Spanish villa, old English manor and contemporary, to name a few.
Prices for detached single-family homes on the market in Lincoln Park right now range from the low $500,000s to $12 million. However, there are very few detached properties available for under a million in this upscale Chicago real estate market. Condos and townhomes provide more affordable housing with prices starting in the low $100,000s for a studio. Of course, for more space you pay a premium in Lincoln Park. One bedroom units are listed from the high $100,000s and two bedrooms typically start in the mid to high $200,000s (although that size property for that price is few and far between). That said there are lots of studios and one bedroom condos with price tags in the $300,000s.
