They Wanted a House in Chicago for Their Growing Family. Would $650,000 Be Enough?
New York TimesAfter some long-distance dating, Josh Kaufmann and Jennifer Gates lived together briefly in Indianapolis before moving to Mr. Kaufmann’s native Chicago in 2020. “I wanted some floors and spaces where we could do our own things and not necessarily feel like we’re on top of each other,” said Mrs. Kaufmann, 42, a lead coach with Chicago Public Schools. “You really can’t predict those things,” said Mr. Kaufmann, 52, a regional executive director of the nonprofit Teach Plus Illinois. They wanted at least three bedrooms, including an office space for Mr. Kaufmann, who works from home; some outdoor space for their dogs, David Rose and Stevie Budd ; and a nice kitchen. “We probably spent every weekend for about two months looking at places,” Mr. Kaufmann said.
