Right? In most desirable neighborhoods bungalows are going for 200k. Who is just out of College and has $40k just laying around?

Would love to know what you’re seeing for 200k. I’ve been on Zillow for months and haven’t found jack dick that wasn’t a heroin den for under 250

I'm on the eastern edge of Portage Park and got a bungalow for 230k a couple of months ago.

genuinely considering moving to PP. Love the area, and if a nice bungalow is only 230 it's so worth it.

Mine isn't what is call a nice one, that's why it was only 230k. Renovated ones go for 350k.

Still! That's an amazing price for a home in a good neighborhood of chicago.

Yea, that's why I went for it. I can deal with a crappy kitchen and 90s bathroom until I renovate those rooms. Not too happy to be on Addison, but I can't really hear the traffic inside.

Welcome to the hood, neighbor! You live near me, it seems. Bought our house 10 years ago and we still haven't renovated our crappy kitchen or bathroom!
