The home is in the sought-after Blaine school district.

Mill Creek boasts two eighteen-hole golf courses, hundreds of acres of parkland and green space, almost every recreational amenity imaginable, and a "town center" with shops and services.

Several weeks ago I visited Mill Creek during its annual garage sale. More than 250 sales were underway as I chatted with residents about their experiences living at Mill Creek.

It was an impossibly windy, overcast morning and people were dressed and groomed for a garage sale, so most spoke off camera, but all had good things to say about living at Mill Creek."/>

Even on a cool, overcast day the play areas at Winnemac Park were filled with little kids racing around, sliding, climbing -- and pleading for their parents to buy ice cream from a pushcart vendor.

A block west of the park is 5137 N Oakley Ave, a character-rich 4-bedroom, 2-bath home on a lushly-landscaped south-facing corner lot.

Prudential Rubloff's Eric Rojas, who lives nearby, was my tour guide in this sponsored video."/>

Even on a cool overcast day the park's play areas were filled with little kids racing around, sliding, climbing -- and pleading for their parents to buy ice cream from a pushcart vendor.

One of the park's neighbors was kind enough to take some time to tell me about the beautiful, refurbished 40-acre park."/>

In this sponsored video Planned Property's Dan McDonough shows me around the lobby-level business center, the roof deck with panoramic views, and a new 2-bedroom model with a sleek Ikea kitchen and black appliances.

The building, says Dan, is "dog heaven" because of the nearby park and green spaces and Planned Property's very liberal dog policies."/>

Row 2750 on the southwest corner of Diversey and Lakewood is well along in construction, as is a development on the southeast corner. There appears to be little progress on the single-family home sites, just to the south, on two of the largest parcels of vacant land in Lincoln Park."/>

The development is a mix of large townhomes, condominiums and single-family homes set around a series of ponds and fountains. It has, over time, become a destination for people who've sold larger single-family homes and want to remain in the area in a maintenance-free community.

Coldwell Banker's Linda Martin hosts this tour of a 4-bedroom, 3 ½ bath single-family at Regent Wood. The home has been beautifully updated by Benvenuti and Stein and put back on the market at an asking price of $1,049,000 just a year after it was purchased for $1M and then renovated."/>

The building is nearing a sellout, and the developer is offering buyers the option of combining some of the remaining half-floor units into highly-customizable full-floor homes.

@properties' Greg Eldridge, who is marketing the building, showed me around the rambling outdoor space in unit 701, the first residential floor of the building. The unit had been one of the first to sell, but the original buyer was unable to close -- a common story in recent years.

The $1.2M purchase price includes two side-by-side parking spaces."/>

The Del Prado, built in 1918, is one of a group of distinctive buildings that mark the gateway from Lake Shore Drive into Hyde Park in Chicago. The buildings comprise a National Register of Historic Places district.

Mac Apartments is currently restoring the exterior and interior of the Del Prado, and will have studio to two-bedroom apartments available for lease beginning in August, 2011.

Architect David Gwinn of the Silliman Group is overseeing the restoration and is our tour guide in this sponsored video, in which we get a first look at the Studio Gang-designed apartment layouts, and the stylish kitchens and baths.

There is still extensive work underway on the exterior of the building and in the grand public spaces, so it was a bit of a shock to see that the 10th floor apartments appear to be move-in ready."/>
