My Perspective as a Chicago Realtor

As someone who lives next door in Logan Square, I think Avondale deserves to be part of more Northwest Side home searches.

Buyers sometimes start with a very specific neighborhood in mind, but expanding the search just a few blocks north can uncover very different housing opportunities without dramatically changing the overall location.
