If you’re looking for a home in a brand-new boutique building on or near Division Street in Wicker Park, you have plenty of options. On the other hand, if you’re in the market for a modestly-priced rehab, it’s slim pickin’s. The only conversion that pops up on our list of new Wicker Park condos is 1725 West Ellen, a six-unit building where one-bedroom, single-floor units and two-bedroom duplexes are priced from the $250s to the $370s.
From there, it’s a pretty steep climb. The least expensive of new-construction development we’ve seen in the neighborhood is Vision, RDM Development‘s 33-unit mid-rise under construction near the Polish Triangle. Two- and three-bedrooms at Vision start in the $440s, which is at least $100,000 less than the least expensive units at any other development on our list.
That makes sense, considering how property values have soared in Wicker Park in recent years. Last winter, Forbes magazine reported that real-estate prices in Wicker Park have grown at a rate of 1,870% since 1990, which should put to rest any lingering questions about the neighborhood’s “bohemian” credentials.
