2-Bedroom Streeterville Duplex Feels Like a Townhouse for $539,000: 440 N. McClurg
This 2-bedroom duplex in CityView at 440 N. McClurg in Streeterville came on the market in March 2026.
Built in 1991, CityView has 421 units and attached garage parking.
It has 24/7 door staff, a fitness center, 3 landscaped sundecks, a bike room, laundry room, and storage lockers. Up to 2 pets are permitted.
The listing says this “newly renovated” duplex is a “rare gem.”
It feels “more like a townhouse.”
There are ash-gray hardwood floors throughout the unit.
The first floor has the living room, dining room, kitchen and a powder room.
The kitchen “is a dream for cooking or entertaining” which is open to the living/dining room. It has white cabinetry with a large gray island with quartz countertops, a backsplash, with sleek LG and Sumsung black stainless steel appliances, including a double oven range, a wine fridge and custom vent hood which the listing says is “another Streeterville rarity.”
The staircase is open with black steel railings.
The two bedrooms are on the second floor with blackout shades and custom closets.
There are two completely renovated bathrooms with walk-in glass showers with subway tile.
In the listing pictures in 2023, the primary bathroom had a blue vanity and blue tile in the shower, but in the current pictures it looks black. Is that just messing with the coloring in the picture or was the tile actually changed?
It has the features buyers look for including central air and washer/dryer in the unit. There’s no parking with this unit, but the listing says its available for rent or for sale.
This building is in the heart of Streeterville, near the Chicago River and the Ogden Slip, Starbucks, Target, Whole Foods and the AMC movie theater plus all the shops and restaurants of Streeterville.
Listed in March 2026 for $539,000, that’s $61,000 above the 2023 sales price, which is when the unit was renovated, at $478,000.
Some buyers like “levels.”

So long as you don’t mind being in one of the only ground floor units in an area that’s seen increased crime in recent years, with your blinds perpetually closed, it seems like a great unit.
“1350 square feet”
The floor plan in the listing sez 1187 gross square feet. So usable is even less than that.
Why lie at that point?
Windows face North Water…so you do have to worry about the maga guys hanging out at the Subway just to the west. Or has that closed now?
‘99 price + cpi = $513k. ‘17 price + cpi = $523k
One can definitely rent a 2/2 nearby for the same ($4733) or less, and get in unit laundry and better building amenities…why incur the entry/exit costs and tie up $100k on a long position for this??
River North & Streeterville values have tanked due to crime, WFH, an oversaturation, and West Loop popularity for social. This is way off.
Meanwhile townhomes in Lincoln Park and Bucktown are the hottest of all time, with multiple cash offers $200K over in one weekend.
The market is absolutely wild right now. I’m in the loser category with a RN 1 bed, but some with meh townhomes in nice school districts will make hundreds of thousands no problem.
Small cave on McClurg Court; these units are tiny, location not cool, building itself cheaply built.
Two of former Alderman Ed Burke’s south-side houses are presently for sale; he’s reportedly bought a Streeterville LSD condo. Worth posting about the two south-side mini-mansions built by city contractors required to provide “tribute” as free labor to Burke. Bigger house is a 3914 W 51st, brick bunker in brick-walled gated compound, smaller house at 4956 S Campbell, similar in style, but more residential exterior. Interiors of both houses are more upscale funeral home than genteel city manse.
