I’m sorry, is this an episode of Cribs? How often do you see a property with a built in basketball court available. Truly a neighborhood for the rich and famous. Properties with outdoor entertaining like this are exceptionally rare in an urban setting.

In all seriousness, there’s only so many more places Chicago can grow. Pilsen used to be a dump and now it’s got a few of my favorite places in the whole city. Take your girl to Dusek’s over by Thalia Hall. That place will blow your tits off. There’s nothing quite like that in McKinley Park, but those things are coming. If you actually go to the Redfin site there’s some newer construction options that I’m sure will be worth like a bazillion dollars in 10-15 years.
