Wicker Park is almost entirely a condo market at these budgets, so the real question isn't condo versus house. It's how much space, light and extras your money buys.
We pulled three real Wicker Park sales that closed this summer, one near each price point, to show the range.
Quick Answer
In summer 2026, about $500,000 bought a two-bedroom, two-bath Wicker Park condo with a private deck. About $750,000 bought a 2,000-square-foot, three-bedroom duplex with garage parking on Pierce Avenue. About $1 million bought a smaller but higher-end top-floor penthouse. Moving up in budget bought finishes and position more than size.
