A 470 sq ft condo on the second floor of a three-story brick building from 1917, a small place with one bedroom, one bathroom and nothing else. Uptown is a lakefront neighborhood, but this is a small unit in a building more than a century old, and it sold for US$137,000 in January 2025, not far from the US$125,000 it fetched five years earlier.

The basement is still unfinished and cooling comes from window units.
