Location - transportation +

The mantra in real estate has always been “location, location, location.”

In Wicker Park and Bucktown, we have several location strengths, beginning with our easy access to the Blue Line and hence to downtown and our airports. CTA buses are readily available, as are taxis. Metra schedules provide an easy link to the suburbs or Loop, and a favorite way to attend Ravinia concerts in the summer. Bicyclists enjoy the bike lanes on Damen and Milwaukee , as well as on Armitage.  There’s new orange bike racks, too.

Those that drive have many ramps in which to enter and exit the Kennedy Expressway (I-90/94) and those in the know know that there’s some great side streets where you can usually avoid congestion, too. All of these location-related boons continue to make Bucktown and Wicker Park a desirable location in which to live, work, and play.
