Chicago IL Condo Market

As the third-largest city in the United States, you can bet there are plenty of fantastic condos for sale in Chicago real estate. Every city has a few condo towers, but Chicago has condo skyscrapers. You can easily find condos for sale in Chicago a thousand feet in the air. From modern newly built glass towers to old stone-facade refurbished office buildings from the early 20th century, the Windy City has it all.

The Lake Michigan shoreline plays host to the majority of Chicago condos for sale. West of Homan Avenue, condos start to fall off, but just about everywhere east of Homan Avenue is fair game. Except for the lakeshore area, you won't find many condos south of Chinatown. Besides the lakeshore and downtown Chicago, the largest clusters of Chicago condos for sale are in the Grand Boulevard, East Village, and River North neighborhoods.

The median price for condos for sale in Chicago is $378K, whereas the median price for single-family homes is actually less at $300K. As with most cities, condos are great properties to “park” your money that you’d otherwise be losing to rent, but you can’t expect appreciation rates as you’d get with single-family homes.
