Why Relocate To Chicago, Illinois




Looking to relocate to Chicago, Illinois this spring? Well, Chicago is a beautiful city in the spring/summer and offers a bevy of things to do. A city comprised of neighborhoods, partitioned into four sections: Down Town (Loop), North side, South side and the West side; with one of the best transportation systems in the country. Chicago is the largest city in the midwest and with a population of almost 3 million, its the third largest city in the country.

Why I love the city? Having traveled for many years to earn my living, I was very fortunate to have visited some of the most beautiful cities in the country. From coast to coast, no other city boasts Chicago's skyline, architecture, winning sports teams, world class restaurants, renowned musuems and educational institutions; and our down town is one of the cleanest in the country! The Lake Michigan shoreline consists of immaculate parks, beaches, shopping and cute cafe's; and honestly, there's no where else in the country where you can live "affordably" by the lake!

If you're looking for an apartment, condominium, town home, single family home, greystone (whatever the style), I can find it for you in Chicago (and home ownership is still affordable)! Want to learn more? Feel free to contact me direct or email me for a FREE Chicago guide/consultation. As a Realtor in Chicago, and having lived here all my life, there is no doubt in my mind that relocating to Chicago to start a new life, go to school, or a job transfer; need be stressful for you.

Chicago housing stats: Annual asking price change: -10.98% April, 2008, asking price: $262,506 April, 2007, asking price: $294,900 Annual inventory change: 7.70% Listings with price reductions: 40% *Compared to other cities in a tight real estate market, Chicago has held up better than most.
