Description

This garden-level 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo in the heart of Bronzeville offers a rare opportunity to own a spacious, affordable unit with over 1,500 square feet of living space and strong long-term upside in one of Chicago’s most vibrant and growing neighborhoods. The unit features an open and functional layout with hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, a cozy gas-log fireplace, and a versatile den-perfect for a home office or additional living space. The open kitchen, living, and dining areas provide a comfortable flow for everyday living, while central A/C and a private parking space add convenience. A major advantage of this property is the absence of a traditional monthly association fee, which can significantly reduce your overall monthly housing expense and improve cash flow. The building operates under recorded condominium documents; however, it has historically functioned without an active association collecting dues, and the current owner has not paid association fees or special assessments during over 10 years of ownership, offering a unique low-carrying-cost ownership experience. The seller will provide full transparency regarding this history along with available condominium documents, written disclosures, and title-backed protections so buyers clearly understand the structure and can move forward with confidence. From an investment standpoint, similar 2-bedroom units in the Bronzeville area are currently renting in the range of $1,500 to $1,800+ per month depending on condition and finishes, and with over 1,500 square feet and a flexible layout, this unit has the potential to perform at the higher end of that range once refreshed. The property has a proven rental track record, having been occupied by a long-term CHA voucher tenant who paid consistently and vacated honorably, and the unit successfully passed regular CHA inspections during that tenancy. While the unit shows some normal wear from long-term occupancy, it is being sold as-is, presenting an excellent opportunity for a buyer to update and customize the space to their own taste while building equity. Located on a quiet, tree-lined street just minutes from parks, restaurants, shopping, public transportation, and the lakefront, this Bronzeville condo is ideal for both owner-occupants and investors looking to secure a well-positioned asset with low carrying costs, strong rental potential, and long-term neighborhood growth.
