$3,500,000 Chicago WAREHOUSE converted into LUXURY LOFT...

[@MrJaiboi90]

People think Chicago the city is only downtown. We are literally known for being the city of neighborhoods. Logan Square is a neighborhood.

[@cocoaorange1]

I grew up a few miles south. Logan Square is on the Northwest Side of the city. It was originally settled by Polish, German, and Scandavian , and Belgian communities.

[@skeletorsnan8161]

unless you mean it in a way i dont really get, that would be almost every american city wouldnt it

[@innervisions100]

Right! I was so confused when he said, "right outside of Chicago," because you can tell from the streets and the street sign that this is in Chicago. I don't know how a real estate agent doesn't understand this...

[@mauricerobinson3925]

Him saying Logan Square is “right outside of Chicago” actually explains why many transplants think anything North of the city is like being in Oak Park - a suburb that is literally across the street from city limits

[@SavageImprint]

"Up and coming", Logan has already been up for a while now, fully gentrified for better or for worse. It's also located within the city, not out. Thanks for showing this space though its really kick ass!

[@Chicago48]

$3.5M to buy the house then rehab it for another $3.5M

[@dramastace]

I dunno about "fully"! I went in to get my eyes checked near the Logan Square monument and the appointment was fully bilingual. 50/50 Spanish/English speaking. The English speaking people were a black family. I live on the west edge of Logan Square, arguably my house IS the gentrification, but it looks more like the start of it over here than the end of it... Our neighbors are a multi generational Mexican family, our restaurants serve pozole, churros and jibaritos... It's still pretty cool over here i love it!

[@dramastace]

Also my house cost waaaaaaay less than 3.5 million, move in ready. That is a wild, wild exaggeration

It's definitely a place in search of a specific owner. It must be incredibly difficult to imagine how to make a warehouse a home, so like all lofts, the vibe is eclectic, the divisions somewhat forced. It's nice that the designer both leaned into having that freedom and was at the same time able to create interesting divisions!

[@cocoaorange1]

Growing up in Chicago, I recall when an area named Halsted St and Lake St were all warehouses, as a young person. Fast forward 25-30 years latet, I am amazed by the lofts and other living spaces in the area.
