Recognised as the most vibrant residential market within Chicago, South Loop's prime location near downtown and the Lakefront continues to appeal to buyers, in addition to the historical price appreciation of residential properties within the locale.

Since 1995, prices have increased over 140%, and over 10% in the past three years. 

According to the IL Association of Realtors Press Release dated 11/28/07, Chicago prices have increased 3.1% over the past year.

The value, amenities and location of the South Loop in comparison with alternative Chicago sub-markets resulted in tremendous population growth.

Population increased nearly 50% in the past seven years and is estimated to grow another 20% in the next three years.

The rise in population spawned retail and commercial development within the South Loop.

In response to the growing population and consistent buyer demand over the past 5 years, the amount of residential projects within the South Loop has increased dramatically.
