7220 S Yates
8%+ Cap | South Shore 6-Unit
Marketing description
Jameson Sotheby's International Realty is pleased to exclusively present for sale 7220 S. Yates Boulevard, a fully gut-renovated, six-unit center-entrance walk-up in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood — one block from the South Shore Cultural Center, the Metra station, and minutes to Lake Michigan.
Completed in 2016, the renovation included new kitchens and bathrooms, updated plumbing and electrical systems, new windows, and a fully refreshed interior, significantly reducing near-term capital requirements. The oversized 2- and 3-bedroom layouts — approximately 1,200+ SF per unit — feature separate living and dining rooms, dual sunrooms, and a mix of exposed brick and drywall, creating a differentiated rental product.
7220 S. Yates sits in the center of one of Chicago's most catalyst-rich submarkets. Within minutes of the property: the Illinois Quantum & Microelectronics Park rising on the former U.S. Steel South Works site, the Obama Presidential Center under construction in Jackson Park, and Regal Mile Studios anchoring South Side film and media production.
This is a defensive, income-driven acquisition for a long-hold private investor seeking predictable cash flow, no near-term capital exposure, and a credible path to outsized yield as the surrounding submarket transforms.
