1411 W Farwell Ave

A low-rise, three-story courtyard condominium built in 1920 and recently converted to condo ownership, this small masonry building exemplifies early 20th-century Chicago residential stock adapted for modern city living. Units are primarily one-bedrooms and studios with compact, practical footprints; many residences retain or feature hardwood floors, granite counters, maple or birch cabinetry, and updated stainless appliances. Layouts emphasize light and air, with several homes offering eastern or southern exposures, private balconies for select units, and a shared central courtyard that brings landscaped green space into the heart of the property. Common-area provisions are homeowner-focused rather than ostentatious: a secure entry, assigned storage lockers and a bike room in the lower level, in-building space for AC and seasonal storage, and laundry located inside units. Heat (and in some listings gas hot water) is included in assessments; the association maintains healthy financial reserves and limits new rentals, which supports owner-occupancy and long-term upkeep. On-site features are complemented by street parking and neighborhood access rather than extensive private parking infrastructure. Situated in East Rogers Park near the Morse Red Line stop, Loyola University, and Lake Michigan, the building sits within a walkable, transit-rich neighborhood packed with cafes, restaurants, theatres, beaches and bike paths. Pet-friendly policies, moderate HOA fees, and proximity to transit and campus life make the building attractive to first-time buyers, students, and buyers seeking a compact, low-maintenance city residence with easy access to lakeside recreation and neighborhood amenities.
