After seven months on the market, my once-perfect suburban home had a new family. I pictured them filled with hope, just as I had been. With the moving truck loaded, I burned sage in every corner of the empty house, wishing them the fortune I'd missed with my ex and his three kids.

5/27/2025 Five Historic Chicago Condos for Sale - Chicago Magazine

Sometimes I feel like it’s becoming harder to find a classic apartment layout in Chicago; a property that has not been remodeled into an open-concept design that’s stripped of all character. If you’ve lived in Chicago long enough, then you’re probably familiar with the traditional Chicago flat layout: a living room with large windows in the front, dining room in the middle, kitchen at the rear, and bedrooms off to the side. Of course, they’re not all exactly alike, but there is definitely a distinction between rooms. After looking at enough real estate listings, the new or remodeled homes all begin to look the same (the trend of making everything gray certainly doesn’t help). But many homeowners prefer charm over a characterless box, and historic buildings offer details that you cannot find in today’s new construction. These properties often have original hardwood floors, custom built-ins, decorative moldings, and other great vintage details. Here are five lovely condos for sale, located in either prewar apartments or flats, that all maintain their original footprints.

5/12/2025 Condo Adviser: Community associations must enforce rules and regulations uniformly - Chicago Tribune

Q. I live in a residential development governed by a homeowners association. I have been cited by the association for allegedly parking a prohibited vehicle in my driveway per the association’s rules and regulations. Setting aside whether the vehicle in question is in fact prohibited, there are several other similar vehicles regularly parked on my neighbor’s driveways, and it is my understanding that none have been cited for a rules violation. Is it against the law for the association to selectively enforce rules and regulations?
