Like a pan full of Jiffy Pop, the hot real estate market is making things pop in Old Town. The neighborhood, long popular with people who want to live near downtown Chicago, but still have that “neighborhoody” feel, is becoming pockmarked with new developments bringing even more people to its quiet, tree-lined streets.
The latest to break ground is 1325 North Wells, a seven-story residential block designed and being built by Sedgwick Properties. When completed in 2017, it will have 60 new apartments ranging from 600 to 1,400 square feet.
