When I started doing mortgages, I lived in Chicago, in Rogers Park and dreamed of being able to afford to live in the Lakeview neighborhood. Back then, there was only one Lakeview.
And that’s what got me started writing today. Back then, there were only 71 or 72 Chicago neighborhoods on the Chicago neighborhood maps. Today, there’s more than 2 times as many. Do you think in 10 years there’ll be more then 2 times as many as there are today? How more fragmented can we get?
Anyway, here’s the new list (it’s just a list – I think it’s complete but maybe I missed a neighborhood or two):
