About Logan Square/History of Logan Square:
This area has a very European feel to it. The most dramatic example of this is the wide boulevards that run through the heart of the neighborhood (the largest of which is the main street - Logan Boulevard). In the center of Logan Square, from which the area gets its name, is a marble column that marks the celebration of the statehood of Illinois in 1818. Logan Square is about three miles north and west of downtown Chicago. Because of its closeness to downtown,and the fact that the "el" services it, this area has become very popular. The housing stock is made up mainly of single-family homes, two and three-flat buildings, and low-rise multi-unit apartment buildings - many of which have been and continue to be developed into condos. One aspect that gives Logan Square even more character is the collection of amazing mansions that line Logan Boulevard as it winds it's way through the neighborhood. Over the years, most of them have been maintained and updated,and the pride in ownership is evident as you pass by.

Tax Considerations >Taxable Profits
If you are thinking of selling your home and your house has risen in value since you purchased it, or you have accumulated a lot of deferred profit from previous sales, the Taxpayer Relief Act passed in 1997 could be of tremendous value.
Prior to this law, when a homeowner moved to a smaller home, relocated to a less costly area, or made a decision to rent, they were left with unfavorable tax consequences. The old tax law allowed people who sold their homes to defer tax on any profit by buying a replacement home of at least equal value within two years. At age 55, they could permanently escape tax on up to $125,000 of profit, but any profit in excess of that amount was taxable unless a new home was bought.
The good news is that with homes sold after May 6, 1997, homeowners can make as much as $500,000 tax-free profits on the sale of a principal residence for joint filers or $250,000 for single filers. The $500,000 capital gains exclusion removed taxes as a consideration for most home sellers by giving them flexibility to trade up or down. It has also allowed homeowners to preserve the savings value of a home when they sell, provided they use the property as their principal residence for two of the prior five years prior to the sale.
Consult your tax advisor for your particular circumstance.
