Chicago lifestyle, investment, and rental notes
Lifestyle
Chicago is a neighbourhood city with a real winter. The lake is the amenity; the El is the commute. North-side vs south/west maps onto very different price and safety conversations buyers actually have.
Investment
Entry prices look reasonable versus NYC or LA. Property taxes matter. Two-flats and greystones are a classic small-investor product.
Rentals and development
Downtown and north-side rentals are deep. New apartments still complete near transit. Family houses in good school catchments remain a separate bid from investor condos.
