About This Home

As of February 2025

Finally, an affordable 2BR condo with low assessments - $309/month includes heat & internet! An incredibly bright and spacious condo located on the high 2nd floor in a very well managed 3 story courtyard building. The 722 tier is centrally located between the two courtyards, which means you will enjoy abundant light from the east, south and west exposures! As the least expensive 2BR low rise or courtyard condo on the market from Addison to Lawrence, east of Ashland, 722/B W. Buena provides the new owner with a wonderful opportunity to personalize the unit (and create additional equity) - just update the kitchen, and replace/update the wall sconces! That $10k, well spent, could yield a 2-3x return on your investment! The most recent closings of 2BR units in this HOA were at $316,5k-$350k.Though this unit is slightly smaller in square feet, you can understand that an investment in personalized upgrades would be well worth the effort! Building your own equity, versus paying someone else for theirs, is the way to get ahead! Buena is a gorgeous tree-lined street with direct access under LSD to the Lakefront paths for those who enjoy walking, running and/or cycling along the lake. Available for the 1st time in nearly 22 years, the entire unit was just freshly painted! The new owner will enjoy a full-size washer and dryer in the unit! Additionally, this unit offers generous closet space and a large storage room (13' x 7') in the basement. Again, the HOA is well-run and has taken care of expensive items like replacing the windows, replacing the roof, and installing a new heating system! Street & rental surface parking is typically available at 140-155/month, and monthly garage parking is offered nearby at 325/month if that's desired. Real estate taxes are very reasonable as well, so call today!
