Remarks: Welcome to 1615 S Trumbull Ave, a solid brick 2-flat located in the rapidly appreciating North Lawndale community, just moments from Douglas Park, local retail corridors, and multiple transit options. This property offers both immediate upside and long-term growth, making it an excellent opportunity for investors, developers, or owner-occupants looking to build equity. The building features spacious units, generous bedroom counts, a driveway, and a layout ideal for rental income or a future renovation project. Previous rents were significantly below market, creating a clear value-add opportunity to increase cash flow. For those considering a flip, newly renovated comparables are trading north of $500K, and brand-new construction 3-unit buildings are expected to break ground on the block in 2026 with projected pricing above $700K+. Residents will enjoy easy access to parks, schools, grocery, and major commercial corridors, as well as a short commute to the Loop (approx. 5.5 miles) and Chicago's lakefront (approx. 6 miles). Whether you're looking to hold as a rental, complete a full renovation, or explore a luxury redevelopment strategy, this property sits in a location poised for continued growth.

RT-4
Residential Two-Flat, Townhouse and Multi-Unit District
The primary purpose of the RT districts is to accommodate detached houses, two-flats, townhouses and low-density, multi-unit residential buildings at a density and building scale that is compatible with RS districts. The districts are intended to be applied in areas characterized by a mix of housing types. The districts are also intended to provide a gradual transition between RS districts and higher density RM districts. The RT districts are differentiated primarily on the basis of allowed density (minimum lot area per unit) and floor area ratios.
