What a landscape design project looks like here
Lincoln Square has one of Chicago's most intact Chicago Bungalow concentrations along Western Ave and Damen Ave — ~3,800 bungalows with the characteristic yellow-brick face and limestone sills.
The neighborhood's Lawrence Avenue (historically the "Lincoln-Broadway-Ashland" German commercial corridor) retains an intact 1920s-1940s streetscape that has been flagged in multiple Landmark-eligibility studies but never officially designated.
Because Lincoln Square sits in the middle of Chicago's Bungalow Belt with ADU Pilot Program Zone 1 eligibility, basement-ADU conversions are particularly cost-effective here — typical $65K-$135K versus $100K-$200K in Lincoln Park.

Who is Baily?
Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.
He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.
That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.
Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
Questions LA homeowners actually ask
