New Seven-Unit Residential Development Brings Housing Growth to West Morse Avenue
By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/West Rogers Park ·
West Rogers Park is welcoming new housing options as the City of Chicago recently approved a permit for a three-story residential building at 2222 West Morse Avenue. The development, which includes seven residential units plus a basement and seven surface parking spaces, represents continued investment in the neighborhood's housing landscape.
The project, designed by Vari Architects with MPI Contracting serving as the general contractor, will replace a 1908-built frame single-family residence that was demolished in August 2023. Future residents will enjoy convenient access to public transportation, with the eastbound 96 Lunt bus connecting to both the Rogers Park UP-N Metra train and the Morse Red Line station, strengthening the neighborhood's transit-oriented development profile.
This new residential building joins other housing initiatives in West Rogers Park, adding to the neighborhood's growing appeal for renters seeking quality housing options with good transit connections. Community members interested in learning more about this and other neighborhood developments can contact the Rogers Park Business Alliance, which continues to lead planning efforts along major commercial corridors including Morse Avenue, Howard Street, and Western Avenue.
