[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chicago is bungalow country, lots of brick but on the small side. Lots of teardowns going on in the better neighborhoods, just like round here. Once you get out to the areas that were corn fields twenty years ago, it's subdivisions as far as the eye can see. I grew up in Algonquin, practically farm country- it's like an alien planet now, cloned homes and cookie cutter chainstores <shudder>[/quote]

I don't think this is totally accurate.  I don't know about Algonquin (at all), but there is a lot of stone architecture throughout the city, most homes in most of the downtown neighborhoods (outside of high rises) are 2,3 or 4 story homes, either single family homes (detatched, attached row homes or townhomes) or one of those bldgs will contain two or three units.

Then, there are many many many many (many) more suburbs there with pretty homes than here IMHO, not all identical boring brick bungalows or colonials.

Love it there.  Would move there in a heartbeat.[/quote]
