New Homes for South Chicago, Phase IV
Our New Homes for South Chicago program continues to flourish with the number of homeowners in the community steadily growing. Through four phases of the City’s New Homes for Chicago program we have developed more than 30 single-family homes and 2-flats over the past ten years.
Available to buyers are our newly designed single-family homes at a base price of $195,000, and new two-flats at a base price of $265,000, working in partnership with the
City of Chicago Department of Housing. Depending on your family size and income, you may qualify for subsidies that lower the purchase price.
Typical Features (subject to change)
3 bedrooms including a master bedroom
1 ½ - 2 ½ baths
large kitchen and spacious living areas
kitchen appliances
washer/dryer and A/C hook-ups
wood baseboard and door trim
wrought iron fencing along the front of the house

Buyers also select from a range of options and upgrades, including: additional kitchen cabinetry, ceramic tile in the kitchen, central air-conditioning, skylights, a finished basement, a garage, and hardwood floors.
The energy-efficient ‘green friendly’ houses we developed in our most recent round of New Homes received national recognition from The Home Depot Foundation’s Award of Excellence and a Chicago Neighborhood Development Award sponsored by LISC/Chicago in 2005.
