3845 West Altgeld Street, Unit GChicago, IL 60647Price: $199,000

Here's what you've been waiting for: an affordable starter home in coveted Logan Square! This cute 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath garden condo has had lots of updates, with the eat-in kitchen and HVAC replaced circa 2021 and a brand-new dishwasher installed this year. Both bedrooms are spacious and bright, and there's tons of built-in storage and shelving throughout the unit. Another perk: the home is just a few steps down, right at the perfect height for dog-watching; set up your WFH desk in the front bedroom and watch all your four-footed neighbors pad past the flower garden. Situated on a quiet, one-way street with easy zoned parking, this home is conveniently located two blocks from Kosciuszko Park and its year-round indoor swimming pool, and only 1.5 blocks to buses, restaurants, shops, and entertainment along Fullerton Ave. The Healy Milwaukee District North Metra MD-N stop to Union Station and Fox Lake is a block away as well! This peaceful home is also just under a mile to the Logan Square Blue Line station and all that Milwaukee Ave and Palmer Square have to offer. The unit could use some cosmetic updates and is being sold as-is; bring your ideas!
