This Realtor Had Every Chicago Neighborhood to Choose From... He Picked THIS

This realtor had every neighborhood in Chicago to choose from. He picked this one. In this video, Liz sits down with Andy to break down the home he and his family just went under contract on, why they walked away from Lake View and Lincoln Park pricing, and why a two-year search ended in a spot most buyers overlook. What we cover: Why Andy was so picky about the architecture from the start The 1910 foursquare: original character vs. what got modernized The exact moment they knew this was the house Why they ramped up the search with baby #2 on the way City vs. suburbs: casting a wide net from Lake View to Irving Park What a standard lot runs right now in Lake View and Lincoln Park Why lot sizes here run wider than the standard Chicago 25x125 Independence Park and why it ended up being the real deciding factor Why they picked south of Irving Park specifically, block by block Commute reality: Blue Line, expressway, and 12 minutes to O'Hare The Logan Square to Old Irving "culture shock" moment Why this is a forever home: schools, options, and room to grow Our prediction on who's getting priced into this area next Timestamps 0:00 - Why Andy was this picky about a house 0:36 - Meet Liz and Andy, today's topic 1:14 - The two-year search and why they waited 1:33 - The 1910 foursquare: old character, modern updates 2:14 - The original details that sold them 2:56 - Why they ramped up the search with baby #2 coming 3:19 - City vs. suburbs: casting a wide net 3:50 - Landing in Old Irving Park's hidden pocket 4:09 - What Lake View and Lincoln Park pricing looks like right now 4:49 - Why it came down to the house, not the neighborhood 5:09 - Walkability compared to Roscoe Village 5:25 - Independence Park: the real deciding factor 6:22 - Why south of Irving Park specifically 6:38 - A minute from the Blue Line and the expressway 7:02 - The Logan Square to Old Irving culture shock 8:02 - Lot sizes here vs. the standard Chicago lot 9:23 - Lake View and Lincoln Park vs. North Center and Roscoe Village pricing 10:28 - Why this is a forever home 11:14 - Our prediction on who's moving here next 12:25 - 12 minutes to O'Hare, and yes, we timed it 14:11 - Thinking about this area?
