New Homes Nuggets: New listings, new prices in Wicker Park, Lincoln Park, and Lake View

by Joseph Askins on 7/2/09

We often run across new listings or price changes on smaller developments outside of the downtown area that might not warrant a big post, but might interest our readers nonetheless. Here are just a handful we’ve seen recently:

1919 W Crystal St, Chicago

1919 West Crystal in Wicker Park
Five of the nine condos in this new Studio Dwell-designed building at 1919 W Crystal St in Wicker Park (shown above) were placed back on the MLS last week. Three two-bedroom / two-baths with 1,633 to 1,725 square feet are now priced in the $560s to $570s, and two three-bedroom / two-baths with 2,125 square feet are listed in the $660s.

Prices in April had ranged from the $590s to the $730s.

The units have floor-to-ceiling windows with ceiling heights up to 20 feet; custom staircases with floating oak risers; white oak hardwood floors; kitchens with SubZero and Miele appliances, Caesarstone and granite countertops, and Arclinea cabinets; baths with limestone and marble finishes, and Hansgrohe, Duravit, and Toto fixtures; private outdoor terraces; and surround-sound wiring.

Sam Tarara of Koenig & Strey GMAC Real Estate has the listings.

2523 North Southport in Lincoln Park
Rich Kasper of Conlon Real Estate just listed all of the condos in this new six-flat (at right and below) at 2523 N Southport Ave in the Wrightwood Neighbors area of Lincoln Park.

2523 N Southport Ave, ChicagoThe building’s two duplex-downs have three bedrooms and 2.5 baths and are both listed in the $770s. Two second-floor two-bedroom / two-baths are listed in the $470s, and two “penthouse” two-bedroom / two-baths with rooftop decks are priced in the $570s. When Jeremy toured the building in mid-June, the two-bedroom units ranged from the $490s to $590s.

Finishes include hardwood floors throughout; kitchens with Viking appliance packages; baths with steam showers, rain showers, and body sprays; and garage parking.

Luxhaven in Lake View
Another of Kasper’s properties, Trianon Development’s eight-unit Luxhaven (seen immediately below and at bottom) at 1740 W Cornelia Ave in Lake View, has six homes on the MLS, including four that have seen modest price reductions ($10,000 to $30,000) in recent days.
