A construction permit has been issued to erect a two-story plus basement, two-unit residential building at 6326 South Eberhart Avenue in Woodlawn. The permit came through on October 15, eight months after its application date of February 18, and it includes a reported cost of $420,000. The homes replace a long-vacant mid-block lot.

McNamara Builders of Oak Lawn is the developer and general contractor, using designs by architect Charles Schwartz. They’ve teamed up previously on several Woodlawn-area projects, including a row of two-flats on South Langley Avenue that are now marketed as Langley Row. Like those homes, 6326 South Eberhart will include a detached two-car garage on the alley behind the residences, and the homes will feature rear decks.

6326 South Langley Avenue is conveniently located two blocks from the King Drive Green Line platform at the intersection of 63rd Street and King Drive. North-south Route 3 buses and east-west Route 63 buses are also available at that intersection, as is a Divvy bike rack. Stops for Route 63 can also be found mere steps north of the new homes at Langley and 63rd.

I don’t like these new apartment buildings being built in Woodlawn! The neighborhood doesn’t look like a community where children gather after school and on the weekends and play. The adults have no porches for evening visits, No Community! The soul of the neighborhood is gone.
