What’s not to love about Streeterville? It’s hip, it’s lively, and so many of Chicago’s distinguished attractions, high-rises, and icons call Chicago’s Streeterville neighborhood home. When it comes to the real estate market, there’s no doubt condos here are plentiful, but finding the right place that suits all your needs and wants in a new home can often be a challenging and daunting task.
Chicago condos have been hot in 2013, with inventory low in this market full of incredible residences. That's why it's exciting for potential Chicago condo buyers when they hear about top-tier condos available in the city's most desirable locations, and no where could that be more representative than in the amazing array of condos available at 800 North Michigan – Park Tower, a grouping of 117 condos on 67 floors that sit atop the world-famous Park Hyatt Chicago Hotel.
When it comes to buying a condo in Chicago, some home buyers have a general idea of what neighborhood they prefer, while others even have a designated list of buildings in which they hope to find a new place. Whether it’s a community’s general feel and atmosphere or the location and amenities of a particular downtown Chicago condo building, it’s not uncommon in the world of Chicago real estate for buyers to have predetermined choices in mind before even beginning the home buying process.
The Chicago condo market continues to benefit from increased competition and buyer demand, as prices hit a 32-month high in June, according to the Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices.
Whether you’re an established Chicagoan living in the city full time or are just looking for a stylish in-town condo you can call home several times a year, River North may offer some of the best 1-bedroom options in all of downtown.

Much of the nation’s housing market has gained momentum over the past year due in part to a diminishing inventory ramping up buyer demand and boosting competition, creating a seller’s market. In Chicago, that trend has been exemplified by the area’s condo market.
With the Streeterville neighborhood being filled with so many extravagant high-rise condo buildings, it’s sometimes easy to overlook one that’s loaded with desirable features, first-rate living amenities, and of course a great overall value. And while numerous Streeterville condo buildings may not get the appreciation they deserve, one particular address that seems to be a bit more underrated than it should be is 250 E. Pearson. The condos at 250 E. Pearson, which is also simply known as The Pearson, truly are exceptional and aside from all the spectacular interior features each unit possesses, 250 E. Pearson is conveniently positioned in one of the best locations in all of Streeterville.
