Essex Realty Group, Inc. has been exclusively engaged to market for sale a 134-unit apartment portfolio in the west Cook County suburbs of Berwyn and Maywood, IL. The Portfolio is comprised of five buildings ranging in size from six (6) units to forty-one (41) units. Four of the properties are located in Berwyn, three of which are situated on the same block of South Oak Park Avenue. The fourth is located just two miles away and within 0.2 miles of the Berwyn Metra station. The fifth building is located in neighboring Maywood just three miles from the South Oak Park Ave. properties.
The Portfolio presents the rare opportunity to acquire a large concentration of units within Chicago’s high-demand western suburban rental market. All five buildings are brick construction with beautiful vintage details throughout. Per the enclosed rental survey, current rents are $200-$300/mo. below market “as-is” allowing a new investor to realize significant rental upside with little-to-no work.
Lastly, the portfolio would be a candidate for the Cook County Affordable Housing Special Assessment Program, which could result in significant tax savings for new ownership (see Addendum B for program information).
