When looking to buy your first home have you considered different neighborhoods other than Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Gold Coast, Bucktown, Wicker Park, etc. You know what neighborhoods I am referring to. The really popular ones because of all the shops, restaurants and nightlife they have that can give you something to do at any moment of the day. So what neighborhoods can you still find affordable housing options but still have the cool shops, restaurants and nightlife that these other neighborhoods have?
Consider Albany Park. Some neighborhoods within this community are Ravenswood Manor, Mayfair and North Mayfair. All of which have their share of shops and restaurants. The one thing that Albany Park can really tote that a lot of other neighborhoods can’t is that it is the most ethnically diverse neighborhood in the city. Over 40 different languages are spoken in this neighborhood. Depending on where you want to purchase in Albany Park will dictate how much you will spend but a one bedroom condo can start as low at $136,000 and a 2 bedroom condo can start as low as $163,000 and with a little negotiating maybe even a little lower.
Since this a very diverse neighborhood there is a multitude of options when it comes to cuisine. One great place for Persian food is Noon O Kabab. William Rice a Tribune and Wine Columnist gave Noon O Kabab 4 forks. As the title suggest this restaurant specializes in Kabobs, along with other Persian fare. If Persian food is not for you how about some Swedish American food at the Tre Kronor. The ambience gives you the feel that you are eating in a friend’s house and the cuisine is very good. Want something sweet and perhaps something new to you. Try Jaafar Sweets where you can find different kinds baklava and various exotic sweets and cookies. Although there is its fair share of places to have a drink or two the one thing Albany Park is lacking is the nightlife of some of the other neighborhoods. Fortunately, Lincoln Square and the Irving Park neighborhoods have their fair share and are only a short walking distance. For more information on Albany Park or any of Chicago other neighborhoods contact Ramona Sivulich or log onto her website.
Check back next week for another neighborhood I will highlight that maybe you haven’t considered. And to get more information about Albany Park contact me Ramona Sivulich at 773-972-7182 or check the MLS listings for Albany Park homes.

Greetings! Unfortunately, some pedestrians discover a danger, only sadly, when victimized. And so I wanted to inform you of StreetZaps.com. I confer with Con Edison's Stray Voltage and Public Affairs Units and contribute to Wet Nose Guide and New York Dog Chat. Further, our electrical collaborators anticipate more summer than winter shockings in the years ahead.
Many thanks and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best,
Blair Sorrel
WHY URBAN METAL ISN'T PRECIOUS- Blair Sorrel, Founder, www.StreetZaps.com
Of course, you want a worry-free walk year-round, so adopt this simple strategy:
EYEBALL THE BLOCK, AVOID A SHOCK.
Take just a few seconds to survey the immediate surroundings and make your trajectory toward a non-conductive surface, ie., plastic, wood, cardboard, rather than risking any metal or electrical fixture. The lowly, free-standing garbage bag, is you and your dog's best friend, most of the time, unless it's snowed and salted. Then you might contemplate indoor products. Consider the safer, hardware-free RopeNGo leash and harness to help shield against a possible zapping and for greater peace of mind.
CONTACT VOLTAGE DOESN'T DISCRIMINATE BY GENDER.
Your pooch's sex is irrelevant. True, the most gruesome scenario is that of a male dog electrocuted by its own urine. Our poster girl sidled a hydrant and limped for five days.Intuit your dog's cues, if resistant to an area, choose an alternative route. Elude potentially live work areas or carry your canine, if necessary. Opt for indoor products such as The Pet Loo, Hammacher Schlemmer's Indoor Restroom, or Wee-Wee Pads, if external conditions are ominous. Dog booties can leak and make your pooch even more vulnerable.
ARE YOU PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH YOUR DOG?
Any of these fixtures might be dangerous, so again, choose non-conductive where and when possible. (link to home page fixtures listed below and/or the visuals page):
