Plan your route.

The map

This is the map. Use it to plan your route. The filters show what people are selling, so you can target the stops you care about.

Getting here

1. Don't drive into the neighborhood.

   The sale runs a mile from Pulaski to Kedzie and parking is residential. Pedestrian traffic will be heavy. If you drive, park on a major street along the edge (Pulaski, Belmont, Diversey, or Kedzie) and walk in.

2. Take the Blue Line.

   The Belmont stop sits right on the northern edge of the sale area, toward the Kedzie end. From there it's a short walk south into the heart of the action.

3. Bus options.

   The 77 Belmont, 76 Diversey, and 53 Pulaski run along the north, south, and west edges of the sale area. Hop off anywhere and walk in.

4. Biking is great.

   Side streets are quiet. Bring a lock. Most yards have somewhere to park a bike. Just don't try to haul a couch on it.

What to bring

• Cash, small bills. Many sellers can do Venmo, Zelle, or Cash App, but cash is fastest. Bring fives and singles. Nobody wants to make change for a hundred at 10am.
• Bags or a tote. Big ones. A wagon or folding cart if you're serious.
• Comfortable shoes. You will walk more than you think.
• A measuring tape. If you're hunting furniture, this saves you from the "wait, does it fit in my apartment" disaster.
• Phone, charged. For the map, for paying, for snapping the chair you want to think about for ten minutes.

Etiquette

• Haggle gently. Sellers price low already. A polite offer is welcome; a lowball is rude.
• Don't show up at 8am. Sale starts at 10. Sellers are setting up.
• Watch the kids and dogs. Streets get busy. Keep an eye out.
• Take your trash with you. If you crack open a coffee, the cup goes home with you, not in someone's yard.
