I stopped by Greenview Gardens in Rogers Park, 7633 – 39 N Greenview, to check the condition of the building.
What prompted my visit was a steep drop in the price of resale units in the complex. Unit F, a 2-bedroom, 2-bath at 7633 N Greenview which was purchased for $212K in December of 2005, sold for $30K following a foreclosure. Unit 1N at 7635 N Greenview, a 2-bedroom, 2-bath purchased for $200K in September of 2006, went into foreclosure, and recently went under contract with an asking price of $55K. Unit 2E at 7637 N Greenview, also a 2-bedroom, 2-bath, sold for $57,750.
The exterior of the building appeared to be in superficially good condition, with a nicely landscaped, well-maintained courtyard.
At an all-in ownership cost of less than $700 a month, heat included, with in-unit washer / dryer, are these units a good deal? A good investment?

What gives you the right to go to individual’s private properties and completely slander them and where they live. Anything can be generalized Joe. You look to be old and geriatric so typically someone your age is insular and makes basis judgements. Time to be put out to pasture you old goat. Hopefully there is a nice nursing home waiting for you.
Anything I said that isn’t factual, Todd?
I hope you’re not as complete a jerk as you’ve made yourself out to be in this, your first comment, but I suspect you are.
I suspect you are an EVEN BIGGER JERK OLD MAN!
As a side note though, yes you have said many inaccuracies. I know people who live in that building and they have weathered this economic storm very well. The board has done an excellent job at maintaining that property despite hard times, and the residents of that building are hard working people who don’t deserve some jerk to come along and make generic statements based on something they got off of the internet. As for the foreclosures, find me a building in the city of Chicago without them and I will find you a politician who isn’t corrupt.
Many inaccuracies, Todd – but not one you can specify?
There are many buildings in the city that haven’t experienced a foreclosure.
