The developers of 2007’s best new townhouses (by our estimations, at least) this week unveiled the latest phase of their 63-home project in Avondale. (Insert “West Roscoe Village” barb here.)
Anchor General is building four “Dorchester” townhouses at Cornelia Court, 3001 W Cornelia Ave, according to a media release. The three-bed / 3.5-bath homes are five feet wider than the 18-foot-wide units built in Cornelia Court’s first three phases, each topping out at approximately 2,300 square feet spread out over three levels.
Two of the four “Dorchester” units are end units that offer light on three sides, according to Gail Goldstick of Coldwell Banker. Each townhouse has a two-car garage, fenced outdoor space and rear deck.
Pre-construction prices for the new units are in the mid-to-upper-$500s; all four will be ready for delivery this fall.
When complete, Cornelia Court will comprise 13 buildings with two to seven townhouses per building. The first phase is sold out and occupied; four townhouses from Phase II, priced from the $490s to $620s, are available and scheduled for completion. The development also features a 10,650-square-foot private park and an acre of perimeter green space.

These look like a winner – they’re not located on a busy street, and they’ve actually reserved some open space to give the development some breathing room. The price points seem reasonable as well. Big difference from the other projects in the same general area that we discussed the last two days.
Yes, this is a very attractive location in Avondale. Target is right in your backyard (or frontyard depending on what side you are on), playground half a block away, places like Chief O’Neils, La Finca, Jewel-Osoco, Lane Tech and Bell School in a walking distance of less than 15 minutes. Much better spot than Belmont Row.
YES! I attended a Brokers Open a few weeks ago and was VERY impressed by the units themselves and their arrangement within the complex, to allow for lots of green space and fresh air.
Of course, for a lady this could be a VERY dangerous neighborhood…literally only steps away from Target and the strip mall next to it! Watch that pocketbook, and keep those credit cards locked up!
Not to mention are the remains of the old elevated train tracks (not cta but used for industry) that look like steep hills with trees on it gives it a nice touch. Like a mini forest.
yeah, I walk by these regularly, they’re in a nice spot for sure. a bit too far from a subway/Blue line stop for me, but you could conceivably go to Addison and take whichever bus came first. that would get you to either the Blue or Brown line pretty quickly.
I wonder how many families with kids at Lane Tech or Gordon Tech are moving in?
Carter – The walk to the Addison blue line from there is not that bad. It’s like a 10 – 15 minute walk, nothing too bad. Althought in winter it might be more diffcult.
Local – While Lane Tech is a good school, and Bell nearby is also great, I don’t think that people are buying these townhomes because of Lane Tech. They might be for Bell, but Lane Tech is a very easy school to get to from all directions from Chicago using the CTA. I went there, and most kids that attend it are from the northside (this school is also located like right in the center of Chicago’s northside in general) so it usually isn’t too complicated for students to get there.
Absolutely wonderful units. They should win awards. I love them.
Anonymous,
Curious that you choose a screen name other than the one you commonly use when you have something positive to say.
What I was trying to get at was that people with kids use “the schools” as a factor in choosing where to live. Lane Tech is a good public high school and Gordon Tech is a good Catholic high school (just went co-ed a few years ago which is anotherp point in its favor). So I was just musing about how much the proximity to the high schools would influence a family’s decision to move to that very nice development.
