Investment Overview

Essex Realty Group, LLC is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire 1266 S Saint Louis Ave, a six-unit multifamily building located in Chicago’s North Lawndale neighborhood on the Southwest Side. The property consists of four (4) two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments and two (2) three-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments. The building underwent an extensive gut renovation in 2024–2025, featuring significant capital improvements throughout, including a new roof, all-copper plumbing, new 400-amp electrical service, individual furnaces and water heaters, and new vinyl windows. Additional improvements include new wooden porches and decking, substantial tuckpointing, and kitchen range hoods vented to the exterior. Tenants are responsible for their own utilities, while ownership pays water.
