The numbers are in and Chicago's top-selling neighborhood for the month of May was: the Near North Side.
The sales numbers are driven, in large part, by the amount of inventory, and neighborhoods rich in condos typically rank higher. In May the top three slots went to the Near North Side, then West Town then Lincoln Park with 280, 195 and 157 sales respectively.
If you remove condos from the equation, then the numbers change substantially. The top-selling neighborhoods for single family homes are Portage Park, Dunning and Norwood Park.
