McKinley Park Lofts

Chicago’s McKinley Park neighborhood, which sits between Western and Ashland Avenues on the city’s southwest side, is seen by many as one of the next up-and-coming areas in the city due to its property values, location, and its great potential for real estate development. One of the more interesting properties in the area is the McKinley Park Lofts. The Lofts are directly across the street from McKinley Park proper at 2323 West Pershing, an ideal spot for those who enjoy outdoor recreation which has recently received a $2.5 million facelift, and still offer convenient access to highways and public transportation. The building that houses the Lofts has seen many uses over the years, most notably as home base for television sales giant Ron Popeil in the 1960’s and 1970’s. The area is also very ethnically diverse and holds many food-centered street festivals each year that celebrate McKinley Park’s cultural mélange.

The 163 homes at the McKinley Park Lofts come in a number of floor plans, including simple one-bedrooms and one-, two-, and three-bedrooms with dens. Sizes range from 670 to 1540 square feet. No matter the unit, the Lofts are packed with the kind of features and amenities that Chicago homebuyers are seeking to find. A walk-through will unearth details such as 36” high maple kitchen cabinets, granite counter tops, stainless steel refrigerators, dishwashers, and gas cooktops/ovens, stainless double-bowl sinks with Moen faucets, cultured marble vanity tops with integral bowls, pre-finished hardwood flooring, wall-to-wall carpet in the bedrooms, washer and dryer hookups, track lighting, and individual heating and air conditioning. The residences are also pre-wired for cable TV, high-speed Internet access, and CAT-5 telephone service. Prices start around $189,000. The Loft building itself features a landscaped courtyard, expansive windows, and solid concrete and steel construction. There are also two elevators, a furnished lobby with a separate mailroom, a private fitness center, individual storage lockers, a trash chute on each floor, ground-level bicycle storage, and a landscaped parking lot with access gates.

The McKinley Park Lofts are brought to the world by The Habitat Company, which has been active in the Chicago real estate market since 1971 and is one of the largest residential property managers in the entire city, with over 23,000 units under its control. The company aims to provide quality housing to its residents and a profitable return to its investors and has succeeded on both fronts. Habitat has created over 17,000 apartments, condos, and townhomes, as well as many innovative recreational and commercial properties.
