About Gold Coast
The Gold Coast runs along the lake north of Oak Street. The Astor Street District, a Chicago Landmark district, holds many of its historic single-family homes and townhouses; around them are vintage co-op and condominium buildings and newer high-rises.
Oak Street Beach and the Lakefront Trail are at the east edge, Michigan Avenue and Oak Street shopping to the south, and the CTA Red Line at Clark/Division on the west side.
Selling in Gold Coast
In a building, the building is half the sale. Have the association's budget, reserve figures and any planned assessments ready before listing; serious buyers and their attorneys will ask in the first week.
Buying in Gold Coast
Many Gold Coast buildings are co-ops rather than condominiums. A co-op purchase usually needs board approval and can have its own financing rules, so the timeline and paperwork differ. Ask early.
