You could build the +House’ Chicagoan here for $350,000. So$99 for the lot and $350 for the house would be $450,000.

There are loan products we can introduce you to that are 10% down for own occupied at this amount. The house would include two finished levels.. and an unfinished basement… the view from the upper floors would be of downtown… as you look right out at downtown without anything in front of you…. you would be minutes from downtown, Roosevelt Retail, and the restaurant/energy of 18th street… and just a block off Harrison park, and the pink line/el. and near the National Mex. Fine Arts Museum.

The area:

This a great part of Pilsen because the el stops are nearby, the biggest park in the n’hood is a block away… and the UIC campus/Medical district is literally a stone’s throw to the North. Here you would be on a block that is a one way east… and this makes it a quite block–that’s hard to get to for traffic. Further, there is a new condo development “McKenzie Place” at the east end of the block… and there are development plans for the city/state owned land across the street ( a triangle parcel). There were plans  to have 15 or so townhomes on this parcel pre-recession. Not sure when these will go in now… but there should eventually be residential there… with some greenspace. Orozco academy-the new pretty yellow brick building around the corner on the park is also a positive. Further, there is Cafe Mestizo, Mundial… the new community square going in at Paulina/nexto the the Bank of America. The metra also stops at Western-nearby… and of course the two el stops (mentioned above) are 2 blocks. (Pink line).
