Neighborhood Look: Roscoe Village

As our tribute to the summer, and all that there is to do in and around Chicago, we will kick the season off right  by introducing one of my most favorite neighborhoods in all of Chicagoland.  Roscoe Village is nestled among Lakeview to the East, Bucktown to the South, and North Center/Lincoln Sq. to the North, and the Chicago River to the West.  With two bustling stretches of commercial life located along Belmont and Roscoe streets, the neighborhood has voloeverything to offer.  From Breakfast at Orange on Roscoe which offers “frushi”–fruit sushi, and the delicious “green eggs and Ham,” to the catching the game at the Roscoe Village Tap, for any beer on tap you can imagine, to a casual yet trendy dinner at Volo, an intimate wine and small plate stop, this neighborhood has everything.  Catch a softball game at Hamlin Park, or take the kiddies for romp in the park at the new and improved Fellger Park at Belmont and Damen, or stroll down Damen with your Starbucks and hit the candy shop and new children’s boutique Twinkle, Twinkle.

Over the last 10 years, plenty of new retail as added to the convenience of the ‘hood as well as the growth of residential development.  With only a few larger condo buildings to speak of (one being the Pencil Factory Lofts at 1800 W. Roscoe), the neighborhood offers mostly single family homes, and 2-4 unit walk up buildings, thus giving way to tree lined streets with yards and gardens, making it an inviting community to so Roscoe_Villagemany.  If you are curious about the home values here, be sure to check out the @report and search Roscoe Village to see what your home is worth or if you’d like to live here!

And while you’re out and about, be sure to check in on one of Roscoe Village’s fun and fabulous street festivals, like Retro on Roscoe.  For more information about Roscoe Village or other Chicagoland neighborhoods, please contact us today at kjpremier@atproperties.com.

Inside the Schroeders

Since Labor Day has come and gone, we have had a flurry of clients contact us to put their home on the market.  There are still many busy weeks left before that mad dash to Thanksgiving, and everyone is pleased to see the increase in activity.  The week has also greeted us with a nice drop in rates, to fall below the 6% mark once again! 

Our clients, Corey and Anna Schroeder agreed to walk us through their fabulous West Lakeview loft on the Northside of Chicago.  They tell us why they have loved living there, and some of the unique features that potential buyers may want to know about this unique, brick and timber loft.  As you will see from the buyer directed video, they have done many upgrades and definitely given it a lovely decorated look.  Please see for yourself!
