This co-op unit in Hyde Park offers an affordable entry point into a desirable neighborhood, though the space is a bit outdated in terms of finishes and overall style. The unit features a reasonable monthly carrying charge of 905, which covers a comprehensive list of utilities including gas, water, heat, air conditioning, cable, and common area amenities, making for a predictable and low-maintenance living situation. The light bill typically runs around 95 per month. The building offers the added benefit of 24/7 security, ensuring peace of mind for residents. There's also an on-site garage with parking available for as low as 75 per month, which is a rarity in Hyde Park and a great perk for those with a car. This is an owner-occupied building, so the unit is not available for investment purposes-making it ideal for buyers looking to live in the space themselves. The settlement required is relatively low at about 3,000, making it an affordable option for first-time buyers or those looking to downsize. In addition, the seller is willing to purchase a brand-new refrigerator for the buyer, which can be a nice perk to refresh the kitchen and save on appliance costs. The co-op does allow for renovations and changes to the unit, though any modifications must be approved by the building's board. This gives you the opportunity to make updates or personalize the space, with some flexibility on how the unit can evolve over time. Overall, this unit offers an affordable living opportunity in Hyde Park, with utilities included, the ability to make updates (with board approval), and added value in the form of a new refrigerator. The secure building, low settlement, and affordable parking make it a solid choice for those looking to own their home in a great location. Please note this is a cash-only deal.

“I worked with Cory on purchasing my very first house. Cory didn’t rush this process. We took our time looking at a lot of houses to find the right fit. The process was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. 10/10 experience!!”
“My Realtor Kimberly Neil was absolutely amazing in my journey for home ownership. I had gone though other realtors and was hitting brick walls. The difference with Kimberly is, she listened to what I was looking for and we rolled forward. I v was also on a time-crunch and we made our deadline. Kimberly was an awesome advocate on my behalf and she got the job done. I would highly recommend Kimberly to anyone seeking to purchase their forever home. Even better, I am able to reach out to Kimberly even now if I have any questions relating to my home and is quite knowledgeable who to respond and provide directives to whom I can reach out to for questions.
From past experiences, Kimberly the Best Realtor by far. You will not be disappointed. In all Sincerity,
Thank You for this opportunity to express my gratitude .

“I cannot give enough praise and stars for the experience I had with Kimberly Neill and the Forward Group as my Realtor. She went above and beyond my expectations with selling my home and purchasing our new home 🏡 For that, my family and I are grateful.”
“Colleen was amazing. She saved me nearly $40,000 on a beautiful condo in central Illinois. She was very patient and very kind as well as professional when she helped me navigate the process of buying my first home. It was a very easy and stress free process.
She showed me several properties and helped me determine what would be best for me in the long run. We walked through numerous properties and she pointed out things I would not have noticed or looked for that would potentially indicate problems for me in the future.
I strongly recommend working with The Forward Group. You will get a very experienced and professional realtor who will make the stress of buying a house a lot easier to deal with. They really helped me and went above and beyond and I will be forever thankful.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Colleen Basinski! From start to finish, she made the home buying process smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable. She took the time to really understand what I was looking for and found the perfect home for me. Her knowledge, professionalism, and patience made all the difference; she guided me through every step, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt confident in every decision. I’m so grateful for her dedication and support. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and goes above and beyond for their clients, I highly recommend Colleen Basinski!”
