Essex Realty Group, Inc. has been exclusively engaged to market for sale the Davis Apartments, a 60-unit multifamily portfolio located at 1025–1049 W Vermont Avenue in Calumet Park, Illinois. Built in 1966, the 60-unit portfolio comprises three adjacent 20-unit brick apartment buildings that have been owned and operated by the same family since 1988, reflecting decades of consistent care and hands-on management.

The Property has been well maintained throughout ownership, including a full tear-off pitched shingle roof replacement in 2012. Interiors feature clean, functional finishes with standard kitchens, durable flooring, and tiled bathrooms, while exteriors present classic mid-century brick façades and neatly landscaped courtyards.

The area offers a well-established residential base supported by nearby retail corridors along South Halsted Street and 127th Street, featuring grocery stores, restaurants, and essential services.
At current in-place rents, the Davis Apartments operates at a 7.57% cap rate, generating steady income with 100% occupancy.
