Property Description

Coming Soon - Be among the first to enjoy this beautifully refreshed top-floor 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment in the heart of South Shore. Renovations began in mid-June 2026 and are scheduled to take approximately 30 days to complete, creating an exciting opportunity to secure a nearly brand-new apartment before it officially hits the market. This residence is being transformed with brand-new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, fresh all-white designer paint, and a new stainless steel appliance package to be installed prior to move-in, delivering a clean, bright, modern living experience. The top-floor location provides excellent natural light, added privacy, and reduced noise from above. One window air conditioning unit will be included for added comfort during Chicago's warmer months. Residents enjoy exceptional value with BOTH heat and water INCLUDED in the rent, resulting in significant utility savings, while tenants are responsible only for electricity and cooking gas. Located within a professionally managed 21-unit cooperative building, many residents have ownership interests in the property, creating a unique sense of pride, community, and long-term building stewardship rarely found in traditional rental housing. Additional amenities include an on-site laundry facility with affordable rates of just $2.00 to wash and $2.00 to dry, along with private assigned parking available for only $60 per month. The building is conveniently located within walking distance of the Metra Electric Line, providing quick access to Downtown Chicago, Hyde Park, and surrounding employment centers, while also offering easy access to shopping, restaurants, parks, the South Shore Cultural Center, and Lake Michigan. The apartment is anticipated to be ready for occupancy in mid-to-late July or early August. CHA and Section 8 voucher holders are strongly encouraged to apply. Minimum credit score requirement is 600, income should generally be at least 2.5 times the monthly rent, and lease protection insurance and renter's insurance are required. Opportunities to lease a newly renovated top-floor apartment with included utilities, affordable parking, convenient transit access, and a true neighborhood community are rare-reserve your showing today before construction is complete. ***Public showing: Saturday, July 11th, from 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM. The unit will be open to the public during this time.***
