Chicago Cityscape has updated Property Sales Browser to include the 24,451 property sales in Cook County in the previous quarter. This is a reduction compared to 2023 Q4 and compared to the same quarter last year.
NEW for this update: We now have “personal property” information for property sales (starting in 2024), a feature requested by our members who are appraisers who need to separate out that information from the sale price.
Hi people on the Cityscape ADU service providers directory,
I wanted to update you on some things.
What’s in the ordinance?
The big idea is eliminating the five pilot areas and allowing ADUs citywide. Additional provisions would remove the cap on coach house floor area, allow removing existing parking in order to have a grade-level coach house, allowing a coach house and an interior ADU on the same property, and allowing ADUs in B1-3 and C1-2 zoning districts.
What should you do?
While you’re here, please double check that your listing appears as you want it still. <http://chicagocityscape.com/adu/serviceproviders.php>
And let me know if you’d like to purchase an enhanced listing (with imagery and get listed first). There are three slots: $350, $300, and $250 (for one year).

Chicago Cityscape overhauled the system to obtain amenities and social infrastructure data so that it can be published more frequently. We are switching from quarterly to monthly updates, and our system allows us to update even sooner than "next month" if there is a need.
Other changes
Chicago Cityscape is also using EveryDoor to speed up the addition and removal of new and closed amenities, and we invite our members to contribute as well. EveryDoor is an app for Apple and Android phones that makes it easy to edit OpenStreetMap, our primary data source for amenities and social infrastructure. While you move about a neighborhood, or are waiting for someone at a restaurant, open the app to add, edit, and remove nearby businesses.
