Single-family versus multi-family options in Ravenswood
Ravenswood offers a good mix of single-family housing, condos and rentals. “There are definitely renters. Within the housing stock is a mix of single families and two-flats and three-flats, then interspersed, you’re going to find pockets of bigger buildings with 12 to 16 units,” says broker Dorie Westmeyer with Charles Rutenberg Realty. Most apartment and condo complexes are low-rise brick buildings, with some duplexes also available in historic Victorians that blend in with Ravenswood’s American Foursquares and cottages.
The mix of single-family homes and multi-family housing makes the parking situation tricky in Ravenswood. Street parking is the go-to for condos, duplexes and apartments. Single-family homes often have detached two-car garages located off alleyways behind homes. Some multi-family units also have small parking lots back there, with enough space for four to six vehicles.
