Get a 2/2 with Parking for $429,000 in Roscoe Village: 1811 W. Addison
This 2-bedroom in Addison Station at 1811 W. Addison in the Roscoe Village neighborhood in North Center came on the market in April 2022.
Built in 2002, Addison Station has 24 units and assigned outdoor parking.
This unit has hardwood floors, except in the primary bedroom, crown molding and bay windows.
The kitchen has white cabinets, granite counter tops, a tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar.
There’s a fireplace in the living/dining room.
The listing says the primary bedroom can fit a king bed. It has dual closets and an en suite bath with a jacuzzi tub, dual vanity and walk-in-shower.
The listing says the spare bedroom could be a home office.
The unit has the features buyers look for including central air, washer/dryer in the unit and outdoor parking.
It also has a private rear terrace.
This building is across from the Addison Brown Line stop (yes, that’s the El running next to the building) but is also near Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Target and the shops and restaurants of Roscoe Village, North Center and Lakeview.
Listed at $429,000, is this a better deal than renting?

That column off the back stairwell is pretty questionable, no anchor bolts and just sitting on a sidewalk with a 1/2 assed attempt a grouting.
“ Why compromise when you can have it all!” – LMAO
“ This building is across from the Addison Brown Line stop (yes, that’s the El running next to the building)”
This unit is literally ON the Brownline. Added bonus of buss traffic every 15 minutes, but you’re near TJ’s so it’s a wash
Seller is delusional but gets points for toughness, sticking it out for 6 years
” buss traffic ”
There’s a kissing bandit on the loose? I’ll have to check NextDoor!
That’s the dirtiest air return vent I’ve seen in a home that’s not a hoarder situation.
The ‘patina’ on the front bays is green paint on aluminum.
Convenient to have the stairs from the parking right outside. Sucks to have the stairs from the parking right outside–at least the door is in the spare bedroom!
PP+CPI = $365k
Probably working off this one (Jun-21, $419) as a comp: https://www.redfin.com/IL/Chicago/1807-W-Addison-St-60613/unit-2E/home/12700619
but the relative proximity of the El, imo, offsets any inflation gain, even before considering the hommuchamonth factor. If *anything* aside from the refrigerator and the wall tile in the 2d bath had been updated, maybe somewhat more, but:
$399k.

Thats horrible

Nice enough place, but I think the constant sounds of the trains slowing down and speeding up and “Doors Closing”, mixed in with the traffic noise and the “route 152 ADDISON to LAKE SHORE” would slowly eat away at my soul.
The ‘patina’ on the front bays is green paint on aluminum.
Really? I seem to recall these bays being bright copper when this was first built.
“Really? I seem to recall these bays being bright copper when this was first built.”
The rendering certainly showed bright copper.
I distinctly recall expecting it to look really nice, and then being severely disappointed.
But maybe I’m in an alternate reality–next time I’m over there, I’ll scratch it, or pour some vinegar on it, and see if I get copper.
Reduced to $419k, then withdrawn and listed for rent at $3k/mo.
