Incredible opportunity to own a legal 2-flat with a bonus garden apartment in the rapidly developing East Garfield Park (Tri-Taylor) neighborhood-steps from the Western Blue Line, 15 minutes to UIC via I-290, and surrounded by new construction, including the $7B "1901 Project" near the United Center that's set to transform the area with thousands of new residences, parks, retail, and entertainment. The property features a new back porch (2021), roof replaced within the last 6 years, and will be delivered fully vacant at closing. Zoned RM-5 and located in the West ADU zone, it qualifies for conversion into a legal 3-unit under the City's ADU Ordinance-unlocking major value and rental income potential. Renovated 2-units in the area have recently sold for an average of $546,000, while a full 3-unit conversion pushes the estimated after-repair value to $677,000. Renovated 3-4 bedroom apartments in this neighborhood rent for $2,916-$2,974/month, creating a projected rental income of nearly $9,000/month when fully occupied. Whether you're an investor looking for cash flow or an owner-occupant hoping to "house hack" by living in one unit and letting the other two cover most-if not all-of your expenses, this is a smart buy with serious upside. Excellent candidate for an FHA 203k renovation loan-bring your vision and build equity from day one.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
