Touring North Center's EcoNorth

Posted 7/1/2009 by Jeremy Schnitker

To round out my open house tours this weekend I headed up north to check out Phase I of EcoNorth, a 16-unit development at 1842 W Irving Park Rd in North Center. One of the area's few green developments, EcoNorth features ENERGY STAR-rated appliances, bamboo floors, dual-flush toilets, and a green roof (which you'll see isn't quite "green" yet). It's also right next to the Irving Park Brown Line stop.

Baird & Warner agent Mary Jaeger told me all of of the homes are corner units, and each has two bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and span 1,250 to 1,335 square feet. Prices range from the $390s to the $450s.

As you'll see from the video, not much progress has been made yet on the rest of the three-phase development, which is supposed to comprise 48 homes when finished.
