This, however, is the finest unim- ‘proved property that lics 80 near.the city, and in’ afew years will undoubtedly be_one of {he most desirable residenco quarters to be found about ‘Chicago. Seven Jears ago the lots on Michigan avenues, from Twenty-fourth to Thirty-first streets, were worth from- $100 to $60 per front foot ; now they, sell at from £350 to $250, aud, at’ the rate the city is being extended southward, it is reasonable to suppose that ‘the property south of Fortieth street, now held at from $140" to 360 per front foot, will in seven years sell from'$300 to $200 per foot. t . IN SUBURBAN ACEES T the ‘speculation is. mainly in two general direc- tiona: Ono west of Central: Park, around: the new' Northwestern car shops, and extending westward to Harlem and northward to the line of the Chicago & Pacific Railroad ; the other south- ward toward . Washington Heights, Whera great and substantial improvements are being made. The comparative cheapness of the land a'mile or 8o southwest of Brighton is also inducing some investment. - The speculation in the lower- priced ‘1and, southwest of South Lynne, is not B0 rampant a8 it was a fow weeks ago. i ..
