The James House high-rise condo building is located on the northern edge of the Sandburg Village development, and it stands as the tallest tower in the development. Sandburg Village was designed as an urban renewal project in the 1960s, which might be hard to believe now, because it’s now one of the more valuable plots of land on Chicago’s near north side. The development is located between Clark and LaSalle streets in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood, just south of North Avenue. Residents of the James House also have easy access to Lincoln Park, Chicago’s biggest public park, which is located less than a block to the north at North Avenue and Clark Street.
The James House contains 520 separate units that are spread out over the building’s 43 floors. The price per square foot for property in this building is an affordable $259, and most of the units range in size from 600 to about 650 square feet. The average listing price for a studio in this building is between $160,000 and $200,000, which is an excellent deal for the neighborhood.
