Is Avondale up and coming?

I was raised in the neighborhood of Avondale and I must say there has been a huge boom! I mean there are 59 housing units being built down the street, one condo building on the other side of the street, there have been townhomes popping all over the neighborhood's borders. Also they completed 16 houses on our block, built from scratch. The Frame ones are $750,000 and the brick ones are about $850,000. I mean the neighborhood is located very conveintely between the expressway and the blue and brown line (more the blue though). Has anyone seen this boom? I know Chicago as a whole is booming but this neighborhood seems to be pacing faster than most other neighborhhoods.>
