I work in the Forest Park area. Would love to move over there, but not for those prices. Those are 200K at best, maybe 250 for the second one, but everything is overinflated
I saw a house for $225k in forest park about a year ago. It was across from the shopping center and next to a small apartment bldg. I haven’t seen a house that low since in that area.
HEY ROBB, HOUSE #1 SO THE ONLY THING THAT I REALLY LIKED ABOUT THIS HOME. YOU GUESS IT THE KITCHEN, IT'S ON A BUSY MAIN STREET, THE DETACHED GARAGE IN THE ALLEY, THE HOUSE IS WAY TO CLOSE ANOTHER HOME, AND THE UPSTAIRS CEILING IS WAY TOO LOW. AND THEY SHOULD HAVE PAINTED THE EXTERIOR ON THE OUTSIDE BRICK HOME.
There are reasonable small homes in Forest Park, but they have the highest taxes in the state. That is the reason I didnt buy out there. They are going bankrupt if they continue raising taxes.
HEY, ROBB. HOUSE #2 $599,000 I'LL PASS, NO WAY WOULD I PAY THAT KIND OF MONEY FOR HOUSE LIKED THAT I DO LIKE THE KITCHEN, THE FENCE IN BACKYARD, BUT THEY SHOULD HAVE UPDATED THE BATHROOMS PUT BRAND NEW CARPET THROUGH THE HOUSE. THE BASEMENT, I DIDN'T CARE FOR AT ALL. PLUS YOU HAVE 2 FURNACES, AND HOT WATER TANKS, BOY YOUR BILL IS GOING TO BE SKY HIGH!
To me it’s just not worth it no matter what suburb your in Cook county the property taxes will be high , best thing to do is buy a property outside of Cook county or even better buy a house in Indiana way cheaper taxes and you can buy a bigger house even if you have to commute to Illinois for work .
This is such a fallacy that I am tired of hearing, if one breaks down their property taxes they will see that the actual portion levied by the governing body of COOK COUNTY is not high, mine was $54.18. It’s these goddamn school boards that are out of control. My town doesn’t even levy nearly the amount of money that the school boards takes. Let’s be adults and stop blaming the wrong entity because it is politically expedient.

I was pleasantly surprised to see the abundance of kitchen counter space in both homes.
Taxes are to high in Illinois
I like the second house but that price is overinflated and the utilities will be sky high unless there’s been some serious weather proofing.

The 1st house is right off Harlem Ave. which is a very busy street just FYI....
Nice house

I don’t know if it is because I am from Massachusetts but some of these home prices are a steal. A house like that in MA would be 800k to 1.3 million
It's Chicago. I would make sure the windows are bulletproof. Massachusetts is $$$ because it's a nice place you get what you pay for in life.
Not a steal
I like the 2nd house the 1st one had a weird layout
why do I hear the traffic outside. I wouldn't buy a house on the highway
That house is on Roosevelt road across from Walmart I believe
House 1.Really a 3 bedroom. That attic is storage unless you have short kids or midgets.House 2 is nice but too damn high!.

Hey the market is very stagnant. I’m wondering how much do you really make making videos on UA-cam?
$600k, man that crib is higher than a mink coat
must be a nice mink coat lol
No trees. No grass and a view of a shopping lot.
