Newly Constructed 60-Unit Property Across from UChicago Hits the Market

Chicago-based multifamily brokerage firm Essex Realty Group has been engaged to market for sale 825 E. 61st Street, a newly constructed 60-unit multifamily property located directly across from the University of Chicago campus at the intersection of Hyde Park and Woodlawn.

Given the high demand for quality rental housing in the area, this property is ideally situated and offers spacious floor plans with high-quality finishes. Completed in 2023 by a local developer, the boutique-style property features 60 expansive one- and two-bedroom apartments with private balconies.

Located one block from the CTA Green Line, 825 E. 61st Street offers exceptional convenience for students while benefiting from strong rental demand driven by the University of Chicago, the University of Chicago Medical Center, and the forthcoming Obama Presidential Center. The property is also within walking distance of Washington Park, Chicago’s lakefront, and several cultural institutions.
