3827 N Kilpatrick Ave
This home is a great value. $298k gets you 3 beds and 2 baths, and the interior looks fresh, clean, and only slightly dated in parts (e.g. the kitchen). Even the basement is finished in a perfectly decent way. It's not terribly close to the el, but it's steps away from a Metra stop, which will get you downtown in a flash. It's in a quiet spot on the edge of Old Irving Park and Portage Park, and would make a great first home.
