Find Real Estate for Sale in Alta Vista Terrace
Alta Vista Terrace is a historical Chicago neighborhood that was originally built in 1904 to imitate the rowhouse style often seen in London, England. The inspiration to build such homes came when Chicago real estate developer Samuel Gross traveled to Europe in the early 1900s to study the housing style in various regions of England. The Alta Vista District consists of one road, Alta Vista Terrace, and contains 40 single-family rowhomes, each with lots measuring about 24 feet wide and 40 feet deep.

ALTA VISTA TERRACE REAL ESTATE
Each of the rowhomes built along Alta Vista Terrace boast its own unique style. Of course some of these rowhomes have similar architectural styles or exterior features, but every home certainly shows off its own exceptional characteristics. One example of the similar, yet distinctive characteristics are the bay windows of each property. Every home features the trademark bay windows, but each bay tends to be just a little different. Whether it’s rounded or squared, two stories or one, the uniqueness of each bay is demonstrated in one way or another. As you can imagine, it’s not often that one of the 40 rowhomes in Alta Vista Terrace comes onto the real estate market, but when they do, buyers can expect to see a fairly hefty price tag. The average sales price for a rowhome along the Alta Vista Terrace strip is generally in the neighborhood of $850,000.

A variety of restaurants and bars are well-within walking distance, and the Wunders Lutheran Cemetery is also nearby, allowing for Alta Vista to have a slight feel relative to the countryside and quiet seclusion. Some of the close neighborhood favorites to Alta Vista Terrace include the sea-food inspired menu of the Raw Bar and Grill, and the Rockit Bar and Grill, which has a delicious Sunday morning brunch menu that’s popular among the Wrigleyville community.
