One of Chicago\u2019s most popular neighborhoods, Wicker Park<\/a> has long been considered one of Chicago\u2019s most creative neighborhoods. In fact, much of its foundation was built on it being a respite for many artists and beatniks within the city, and later, with the development of the Blue Line, it evolved to offer a more textured community, embracing its past while welcoming the future. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Today, remnants of that rich history are still present among the murals, artist lofts, shops, and culture of \u2018cool\u2019. <\/span>Vintage shopping and unique stores are dotted throughout Wicker Park<\/a>.

Wicker Park\u2019s residential identity reflects the long-lasting juxtaposition between the past and future, with many of its vintage exterior facades with a fully gutted and modern interior. There are also a plethora of new-builds, extra-wide lots allowing for creative yet expansive modern homes<\/a>. This coupled with the always-burgeoning cultural scene allows for the real estate value to steadily rise and remain a solid investment. Currently, the average price of detached single-family homes to purchase are 1.1M, condos fall around\u00a0 550k, and rental prices reflect that of the market<\/a> and are often on the higher-end among its 77 neighboring areas. Wicker Park has six public schools available to its residents with a high rating for education. While Wicker Park is on the trend of more polished-off developments and fewer alternative outlets, it still remains a young, hip, and artsy area. Living here, you will feel like you are at the center of Chicago city life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
