Healthy Associations
In today’s competitive real estate market, a smart buyer will be assessing more than just the size, amenities, location and cost of their new home. A well-run association with stable finances and efficient management procedures will quickly surface to the top as a better investment—for both sellers and buyers alike. Every association should be run efficiently like the multi-million dollar corporation that it is. If not, it could negatively impact all owners by decreasing the value of what may be one of their largest investments. Take the approximate value of each unit in the association and add them together to get an idea of the value of the property. For example, a 20-unit association at $250,000/each would have an approximate value of $5 million, which could be considered a large business to manage in any industry! An association managed like a well-run business will provide a better return on investment. Improperly managed associations run the risk of budget shortfalls, unanticipated special assessments, inconveniencing owners and developing a poor industry reputation.

Tapas Las Ramblas
Sarah Lawrence This wonderful tapas restaurant is brought to you by a former partner of Twist. After studying in Spain for a summer in college, I became intimately familiar with good tapas-style eating. While there are many tapas options in the city, I found Twist (in Lakeview/Wrigleyville) to be my all time favorite for its quality, price, and ambience. A friend who lives in Andersonville turned me onto Tapas Las Ramblas, and now it’s right there up there on my list of favorite tapas spots. Tapas Las Ramblas has a menu with wide variety. Some favorites among my group of 4 included: baked goat cheese, grilled vegetables, bacon wrapped dates, and grilled lamb chops. We finished the meal with the carmelized banana and ice cream, which was heavenly. This restaurant has it all – it sits amid the hot Andersonville strip, has a fun and inviting atmosphere, is a great value, has great service, and serves consistently delicious fare. You can expect to pay about $25 - $30 a person with alcohol. The neighborhood: Andersonville, an old Scandinavian neighborhood, lies just north of Uptown. Its borders are loosely defined by Lawrence Avenue on the south, Peterson on the north, Broadway on the east, and Damen on the west. Andersonville is comprised of restaurants, boutiques, bars and both walk-up condos and single family homes. There are currently 65 2 bedroom/2 bath units on the market that range from $229k to $479k, with the average being $350k. There are currently 47 single family homes on the market that range from $449k to $2M, with the average being $700k. 5101 N. Clark 773.769.9700 www.tapaslasramblas.com
