About the Neighborhood Arcadia Terrace is a great old Chicago neighborhood and maybe it's best kept secret. With affordability, great housing, access to public transit, and close proximity to Andersonville and Lincoln Square, it is a very "up-and-coming". Defined and protected by Western, Peterson, and Lincoln Aves, the neighborhood is small and unassuming, with a majority residential, longterm, family oriented, diverse population, averaging 75K / year. This hidden gem is quiet and secluded with its treelined streets and well cared for early 20th-century 2-flats and single family bungalows but close to nightlife and amenities. Crime is low and community is high. - Public Trans: Western Bus #49 , North Western Bus #49B, Lincoln Ave Bus #11 , Peterson Bus #84 - 1.5 mi / 10-15 min bus ride to Western Brown Line / Lincoln Square - 2.0 mi / 20 min bus ride to Bryn Mawr Red Line / Andersonville - 0.5 mi / 10 min bus ride to Tony's Fresh Market - 0.2 mi walk to West Ridge Nature Preserve - 2.5 mi / 30 min bus ride to Kathy Osterman Beach - 11mi / 1hr CTA to Downtown Chicago Loop About the me I bought my 1st 2-flat building in 2018 and I have been a successful property owner since. Ive have had the same amazing tenants, a family of 3 women, living in that 2nd floor apartment (me on the first) since then and we've have a wonderful, honest, neighborly, helpful, respectful, and understanding tenant/neighbor relationship. Competent, knowledgable, and attentive to the needs of my properties, my tenants, my investments. In 4 years, I have made many improvements and updates to that property, including a new roof, new patio/sidewalk concrete, restored oak windows with new storm windows, painting, and landscaping. With a lot of help from craftsman and tradesman, a full gut rehab of a 600sqft 1 br/1ba basement apartment, with beautiful results, that I've run as an AirBnb for the past year. In early December 2022, I purchased my 2nd 2-flat (this listing). I live in the 2nd second floor apartment with my 2 cats and plan to fully update the building over the next few years. I also have a full time job in the local Film & TV Industry. Rent includes heat, water, sewer, trash removal. Tennant pays electric & internet.
