Essex Realty Group, LLC has been exclusively engaged to market for sale 844-846 W. Lakeside Pl., a classic center-entrance six-flat apartment building located in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood, a short walk from Lake Michigan and Montrose Harbor.

The Property consists of five (5) three-bedroom/two-bathroom units and one (1) four-bedroom/two-bathroom unit, with each apartment measuring approximately 1,600 square feet. The Offering also includes five (5) garage parking spaces and a basement workspace currently rented for $550/month. Tenants have large private storage spaces in the basement as well.

The apartments showcase preserved vintage character — coffered ceilings, wainscoting, crown molding, decorative fireplaces, and built-in cabinetry — paired with select unit-level updates including refinished hardwood floors, quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, HVAC, in-unit washer/dryers, and renovated bathrooms. Capital improvements include a fully rebuilt rear porch system (2023) and a 400-amp electrical service upgrade (2016).

A new owner may choose to pursue additional cosmetic renovations to kitchens and bathrooms to push rents above current market levels, building on the unit modernization already completed elsewhere in the building. The Property may also support the addition of an Accessory dwelling unit (ADU) or two, pending city approval.

844-846 W. Lakeside Pl. is ideally situated on a quiet, tree-lined street one block from the Lakefront Trail and Montrose Harbor, with three CTA stations nearby — Lawrence Red Line (7 minutes), Wilson Red/Purple (8 minutes), and Argyle Red Line (10 minutes) — all providing direct service to the Loop.

Uptown is a vibrant lakefront neighborhood on Chicago’s North Side, bordered by Lakeview, Edgewater, and Ravenswood. Known for cultural landmarks like the Aragon Ballroom, Riviera Theatre, and Green Mill, Uptown combines historic character with ongoing investment and redevelopment. Sub-neighborhoods such as Buena Park, Sheridan Park, and Margate Park feature tree-lined streets, historic architecture, and lakefront access. With strong transit options and a diverse mix of residents, Uptown continues to attract new development, retailers, and long-term residents.
