Description

This legal-brick four-unit building in South Shore offers a clear path for growth and long-term value. The property includes two large three-bedroom units and two two-bedroom units, providing a versatile layout for future tenants, with additional upside in finishing the attic and basement into units. Market rents in the area run $1,700-$1,900/month for 3-beds and $1,250-$1,600/month for 2-beds. CHA voucher rates are $1,630 for 3-beds and $1,270 for 2-beds. South Shore has real momentum. The Obama Presidential Center, 3 miles away, opens in June 2026 and is already pulling attention and investment into the corridor. The proposed Bears stadium and entertainment district is 6.5 miles out, another longer-term tailwind for the South Side. Fantastic bones, great unit mix, and a neighborhood that's moving. This is a home run for the right buyer.

    "Dog owners will like that the area is friendly and welcoming to pets. People should not have their guard up with thinking the pets will be misbehaving and attacking them they should be able to walk with their dogs with no problem. They should be able to pick up after their dogs in areas where it is not intruding their neighbors property "
