A 3-Bedroom with a Private Roof Top Deck for $685,000: 1510 W. Cortez in West Town
This 3-bedroom at 1510 W. Cortez in the Noble Square neighborhood in West Town came on the market in March 2023.
The listing says this is in Wicker Park. Normally I go with what the listing agent says, but we have chattered about this building before and it was always Noble Square.
The building was built in 2012 and was one of the first new construction buildings that started popping up in West Town at the bottom of the housing bust. It was the first indication that the worst of the bust was maybe over.
You can read about our chatter on this building and the new construction in this neighborhood in 2012 here.

Nice place but I like it better at $625-$650k
So with the massive roof deck, multiple owners have had the grill and A bar off the MBR deck?
There’s not much privacy on the RTD, assigned might be a better phrasing.
“50% rentals allowed”
Ugh, in a 6 unit ass’n?
Wonder if the snowblower in the garage shot means the next owner will also be excpected to be the ‘snow guy’.
Hey Sabrina, can we chat about this one?

I know it’s subjective, but I think it would be hard to find a property with less curb appeal.
Having said that, do like the interior and the deck. Assessment seems low. I wonder what the reserves look like. Nice looking street, by the way.
I wasn’t on CC back in ’12 and just read Old Hickory’s comments….Nailed it. One of this style place went up next to me. They got broken into. Thief was inside taking their time for a solid 30 minutes based on the time stamps from the security footage. This one has less of a soviet block motel 6 vibe than the one next door to me but similar none the less – I guess if you live in it you don’t have too look at it so much?
This unit is under contract already.
