RMK Management Corp., one of the Midwest’s largest market-rate apartment management firms, has been named property manager for The Raven Residences, a transit-oriented rental community at 4733 N. Wolcott Ave. in Chicago’s Ravenswood neighborhood. Adjacent to the Ravenswood Metra station and walkable to the CTA’s Damen Brown Line stop, the property features 167 apartments and townhomes across two four-story brick buildings.

“The Raven is an intimate rental community that, despite having just opened in 2023, feels right at home in this quintessential Chicago neighborhood that exemplifies exactly what makes the city’s North Side such a popular residential destination,” said Anthony Rossi Jr., president of RMK Management Corp. “Property management isn’t a one-size-fits-all business, and we take tremendous pride in how we tailor our approach to the unique feel of each community in our portfolio. In the case of The Raven, our focus will be on enhancing the boutique atmosphere of the property with the personalized service we excel in, as well as complementing the great lifestyle offered by the surrounding neighborhood with our own lineup of resident activities and events.”

In addition to management, RMK is handling leasing for The Raven, which was developed by Harlem Irving Companies and is currently 93.41% leased. Apartments include studio, one- and two-bedroom units, measuring from 452 to 1,061 square feet, and six rental townhomes in two-bedroom, two-bath or four-bedroom, four-bath designs that range in size from 1,262 to 2,282 square feet.

All residences feature plank-style flooring; kitchens with quartz countertops, two-tone cabinetry, subway tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances; oversized closets with built-out shelving systems; and in-unit laundry. Select units also have private terraces.

Residents of The Raven share access to a full suite of amenities including a fitness center, community room with a variety of seating to accommodate socialization as well as remote work; bar/entertainment kitchen area with a pool table and TVs; dog run; and secure bike storage. The property features heated garage parking with 92 spaces plus 11 outdoor parking spaces as well as 8,800 square feet of commercial space.

“Like many North Side neighborhoods, Ravenswood is filled with vintage multifamily buildings, so The Raven is a great option for renters who love the character of this area’s residential streets but prefer the updated finishes and amenities of new construction,” said Rossi. “Of course, like many city properties, one of The Raven’s best attributes is simply its walkable location and easy access to not only transit options for a quick, 15-minute commute downtown, but also the wealth of shopping, dining and entertainment options that enhance urban living.”

A new Colectivo cafe recently opened in the community’s first-floor commercial space at the corner of Wolcott and Lawrence avenues, offering a convenient “third place” for residents to spend time, said Rossi. In addition to its proximity to a variety of independently owned retailers and restaurants, the community is across the street from a Mariano’s grocery store and LA Fitness health club. It is also a half-mile from Winnemac Park, while Montrose Beach and the Lakefront Trail are just over 2 miles away.

Rents at The Raven start at $1,777 per month. For more information, visit www.theravenapts.com or call (312) 767-9354.
