Historic, high-end housing
Homes in Lincoln Park vary from historic brick residences, brownstones and townhomes to walk-up condos that blend with high-rise skylines. “Lincoln Park is a place for all budgets, and probably the most well-known neighborhood in Chicago,” says Grigory Pekarsky, realtor at Vesta Preferred LLC. Any properties under $700,000 are primarily less than two bedrooms. Once prices cross the million mark, places frequently come with additional bedrooms and more spacious floor plans. “Nowadays, many people don’t realize that Lincoln Park is an older part of Chicago, so even very nice homes can have some age to them. Most people drawn here are willing to sacrifice the newness of build for location. For first-time home buyers, you can find plenty within a budget of $500,000 to $800,000. If you go with a new property, you could easily be looking at the $5 million range," Pekarsky says.
