Former Bears great Gould sells north suburban home
Former Bears kicker Robbie Gould sold his north suburban home, just as Bears fans were hoping the team’s all-time scorer would be coming back to the team. Gould and his wife, Lauren, bought the house for $1.2 million in 2009, in the middle of his 11-season tenure with the Bears. They listed it in 2018 for $1.3 million and cut the asking price to less than $1.2 million in February. It sold last week for $1 million. Dina Lissner of Compass had the listing. Gould, now on the San Francisco 49ers, has been holding out from the team and demanding a trade. [Chicago Tribune]

Arlington Heights row house project could skip out on affordable units
Arlington Heights village officials recommended the developer of new row houses on an empty block downtown be allowed to pay a fee in lieu of including affordable housing units in the project. The 16-unit “Sigwalt 16” project on Sigwalt Street between Chestnut and Highland avenues would have units priced between $600,000 and $800,000, and officials argued it would not be possible for units to be offered at an affordable price. The developer instead will pay $120,000 to the village. [Daily Herald]
