Close to shopping centers / nice restaurants in a very nice area.   

Restaurant,etc.

It's right by the park and Armitage Ave. which has a bunch of restaurants and shops, unlike North Ave. 

The university is spending hundreds of millions of dollars on construction projects in 2018 alone, including new classroom buildings, parking garages, a restaurant, athletic building improvements and library expansion.

I'm thinking:* I can commit 7-10 years living here* it's located close to work - 15 min commute versus 30 from the location of other condos on my list* the location is highly walkable to grocery, restaurants, movies* the assessment will be about 10% of my purchase price, not too unreasonable (or is it?)

Lots of nice shops, restaurants, cafe's, and new construction!

Someone in the restaurant industry told me one "no one watches your money like you do."

Restaurant coupons3.

It is now one of the hottest places in the city (with some of the best restaurants in the Midwest). 

I am not heavily involved in that aspect of real estate, but I will chime in with my 2 cents.I am very bearish on commercial office, as it is my opinion that the internet is going to continue to eat away at commercial office space.I think supermarket-anchored community centers, medical, and restaurant (the type that Realty Income invests in - with fast food tenants) are the commercial properties that make sense to me.
