Welcome to The Real. A Brand New Luxury Property in an Iconic Wicker Park Landmark.
Be the first to reside in this never-lived-in, completely reimagined 2 Bedroom + Den residence at The Real, a boutique luxury building at 1934 W North Ave in the heart of Wicker Park.

Today, it has been fully transformed into an exclusive 8-unit collection of modern luxury apartments while preserving its historic character.
This brand-new home offers two spacious bedrooms plus a den with a built-in desk, perfect for a home office. Custom skylights create a bright and airy atmosphere, while the open-concept living area has soaring 14' ceilings, exposed steel beams and oversized windows with city views.
The designer kitchen is equipped with granite countertops, island, modern cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, dishwasher, and microwave. The spa-inspired bath has marble dual vanities, and in-unit laundry provide every modern convenience.
