212 S 5Th Ave

A three-story, walk-up condominium building constructed in 1931, this low-rise property reflects early 20th-century residential scale and masonry construction typical of small Midwestern downtowns. Unit mix is dominated by studios and one-bedroom floor plans laid out with hardwood floors, eat-in kitchens or galley kitchens, and occasional dressing rooms or walk-in closets. Interiors vary from recently updated suites with new cabinets, countertops and bathrooms to original-condition units sold strictly as-is. Common elements are modest: on-site building management, low monthly assessments that commonly cover heat, water and some insurance, and a small footprint without elevator service. There is no building-wide parking included with most units, though street or nearby lot parking is often available. The property sits within walking distance of Maywood’s core civic amenities — library, train and bus stops, police station, parks, and local shops — offering convenient transit access to Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Pet restrictions are enforced in many units and buyers should expect seller disclosures indicating buyer responsibility for required village repairs and potential cash-only or as-is sale terms. Overall, the building presents a mix of investor-friendly rental history and owner-occupied potential in a compact, transit-oriented neighborhood.
