Property Description

An incredible opportunity for investors seeking a true value-add play in the heart of "Hot" Washington Park. This jumbo 6-flat features an expansive basement and oversized units-some approaching 1,800 sq ft with multiple bathrooms-but requires a full renovation. A new City of Chicago rear porch was installed approximately 15 months ago, providing a strong starting point for redevelopment. The property is conveniently located within walking distance to bus and rail transportation and just minutes from the University of Chicago campus. Sold AS IS / WHERE IS, with the buyer responsible for all City of Chicago violations. Renovated buildings in the area are achieving seven-figure sales. Cash or purchase-rehab financing only. Proof of funds or lender preapproval required for interior access. Opportunities like this are rare-don't miss it.

Explore Washington Park

For now Chicago's Washington Park neighborhood may be a predominantly residential south side community with a sprawling public park and rich culture of African-American heritage, however, as the potential site of the Olympic Stadium for the 2016 Summer Games, this modest neighborhood could really make its mark in the near future. Remnants of the last century's architectural movement are found throughout the area, with a wave of new designs and gut rehabs dusting the streets as well. As Olympic talk heightens, developers and city officials are anticipating the impact such a huge event would have on Washington Park. Temporary athlete lodgings and the massive 80,000-seat arena would only be around for a short period, but the hope is that a surge of new businesses would ride in on the coattails of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bolster the Washington Park neighborhood for decades to come. The current commercial base is slight, with a few soul food mainstays and Chinese takeout, but the annual cultural festivals and fun Park District programs keep things on the up as Washington Park awaits an impending transformation of Olympic proportions.
