New Residential Development 'Enclave Galewood' Transforms Neighborhood's Western Edge

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Galewood · October 23, 2025

A significant residential transformation is underway at the western edge of Galewood as construction progresses on Enclave Galewood, a new housing development that promises to bring fresh living options to the neighborhood. Developers Harlem Irving Companies and Novak Construction received permits for all phases of the project in October, with site preparation and foundation work already visible at the intersection of Neva and Wabansia Avenues.

The project, designed by OKW Architects with Novak Construction serving as general contractor, is strategically located with excellent transportation access. Residents will benefit from proximity to CTA bus service via Routes 72 and 90, as well as PACE Route 307 Harlem bus, while the Mars Metra station is just 1.25 miles northeast. The development's location at Galewood's border puts future residents one block north of Oak Park, one block east of Elmwood Park, and one block northeast of River Forest.

Interested Galewood residents can find more information and pricing details at enclavegalewood.com. As construction continues, the community can look forward to watching this new addition take shape, bringing more housing options to a neighborhood known for its diverse architectural styles ranging from classic bungalows to mid-century designs.
