February 24, 2009 – In response to those who have pointed out that the 35 Union Row townhomes are situated close to the Dan Ryan Expressway and train tracks, Chicago real estate developer Zev Salomon of Belgravia Group points out the obvious in a Chicago Magazine interview. “Anywhere you live in the city, you’re going to live near some piece of infrastructure,” he told the magazine. But Belgravia has taken extra steps to make up for that.

The Union Row townhomes, situated on West 16th and South Jefferson, have gone the extra mile when it comes to silencing any outside sounds. There is extra insulation in the building walls and the windows are insulated as well, thus reducing noise. The layouts of the townhomes were created with the location in mind to also maximize the sound reduction. Many of the units were designed so that the living areas of the home are located as far away from the tracks as possible. This was accomplished by putting some of the garages, lawn spaces and fire escapes on the track side of the development.

The Union Row townhomes with their classic two-toned red brick exteriors are all four stories tall and come with a two car garage. The residences have from three to four bedrooms and open kitchen layouts. The homes run from about 2,270 to 2,900 square feet in size and there are only about a dozen units left for sale right now. Prices on these remaining Chicago townhomes run from about $535,000 to $719,900. Buyers can also be assured that their units won’t be devalued by the developer lowering prices on the last few sales because Belgravia has a policy of holding true to the original unit prices.

If you’re unsure about Union Row, there are several other Townhouses in Chicago on the market right now.
