If you’re in the market for a new condo you may want to consider a garden unit. That’s because there are plenty of pros when it comes to buying a garden unit condo.

The condos coming to 2035 N. Orleans are now listed on the MLS, providing just a few more luxury options to anybody searching Lincoln Park condos for sale.
