Fall is in full swing, and we’re ready to make the most of the season’s offerings. Here are some of the best ways to enjoy autumn throughout Chicagoland.

Chicago’s suburban home market has gotten a lot of attention lately as people have sought more space inside and out. So, in the latest installment of @ The Market, @properties managing brokers Tricia Riberto and Jim Barcelona go on location in Naperville to discuss where the market is headed this fall.

The leaves are turning, soups are on the stove, and autumnal decor covers the home. You know what that means? Fall has arrived! Learn how to enter our Kick Off to Fall Sweepstakes for a chance to win some cozy essentials like Apple AirPods, homesick Apple Orchard candle, and Pottery Barn’s cozy Buffalo Check throw.

What do @properties and the Wu-Tang Clan have in common? An undeniable love for Chicago and giving back. Last month, @gives back partnered with Wu Tang Foundation, the charitable arm of the world-renowned hip hop group, and Strides for Peace, a Chicago non-profit dedicated to ending gun violence and empowering community organizations, for the inaugural Chicago Neighborhood Cleanup event.

@properties and Proper Rate are excited to be bringing @ Loves Local to a Hinsdale favorite, Sweet Ali’s Gluten Free Bakery, on Wednesday, October 13th! Having recently celebrated their 11 year anniversary, it’s clear that Sweet Ali’s has become a staple among the community as well as over 150 retail and restaurant locations throughout Chicagoland. Owner Ali Graeme embarked on this sweet adventure after finding out both her and her son were diagnosed with celiac disease. We love her positive outlook and her dedication to creating treats that can be enjoyed by all.

Today we are excited to announce we’ve teamed up with internationally recognized artist Lefty Out There to unveil a six-story mural in Chicago’s River West neighborhood.
