Carl Sandburg Village is a 16-acre community of 2,610 homes between Clark and LaSalle Streets from Division Street to North Avenue, where Chicago’s Gold Coast meets Old Town. It has nine condominium buildings (eight high-rises and one mid-rise) and 60 townhouses, all built as rentals between 1963 and 1969 and converted to condominiums in 1979. Every building is named for a writer.
Sandburg Village sits on the border of the Gold Coast and Old Town on Chicago’s Near North Side, ZIP code 60610. Lincoln Park, North Avenue Beach and Oak Street Beach are a short walk away, and the CTA Red Line stop at Clark/Division is at the south end of the complex.
Sandburg Village has nine condo buildings and 60 townhouses, organized into seven associations under one master homeowners association.
Each building belongs to its own condo association, and three associations cover two buildings each: Cummings and Dickinson (No. 1), Alcott and Bryant (No. 2), and James and Kilmer (No. 7). The 60 townhouses form Association No. 3. All of them belong to the Carl Sandburg Village Homeowners Association, which runs the pools, courts, malls, landscaping and security.
The master HOA is managed by FirstService Residential from its office at 1355 N Sandburg Terrace, Room 103, phone (312) 440-3615. Building associations are managed by The Habitat Company (Cummings, Dickinson, Eliot), Community Specialists (Alcott, Bryant, James, Kilmer), Chicagoland Community Management (Lowell, Faulkner) and FirstService Residential (townhouses).
The 60 townhouses have their own association (No. 3), and listings have described them as fee simple with a monthly HOA fee covering items like lawn care, scavenger service and snow removal. Our listings search will allow you to find HOA fees for any specific townhome. Townhouse owners pay separately for village amenities such as the pools. Townhouses rarely come up for sale, and most have private patios and courtyard access.
Residents can use two outdoor pools with sundecks, two tennis courts, two pickleball courts, two hospitality rooms for parties, dog runs, a children’s playground (the Tot Lot, at Clark and Goethe) and landscaped pedestrian malls. Pools, courts, cabanas and party rooms carry separate fees; dog runs and the playground are free. Many buildings add their own amenities, such as door staff, rooftop decks, fitness rooms and bike rooms.
Yes, heated garage spaces are leased by the month, and recent listings show about $170 to $190 a month depending on the building. We can verify for you prior to buying or renting. Street parking nearby is difficult, so line up a space before moving in; our agents can assist.
The Carl Sandburg Village Homeowners Association maintains the shared grounds, pools, courts and security, funded through each building’s assessments. Each condo association hires its own management company
