New apartment complexes are being constructed on the South of Eddy Street, a popular off-campus location for Notre Dame students. The space will provide additional living options for the community.
The project is covered by Irish Realty, a real estate company that has sold homes in the Michiana area for over 25 years.
“Irish Realty is a boutique real estate firm that caters to all things Notre Dame and works with builders, developers, buyers and sellers to find properties close to campus that will meet their lifestyle and investment goals,” realtor Steve Smith said. “We have a client-first approach and look to understand our clients’ needs and then connect them to properties and services that will bring joy and build community.”
Irish Realty has been working on the construction of new homes in the South Bend area. They recently announced that they were creating townhouse developments on Eddy Street called Eddy Square and 5 Corners.
“With the continued expansion of Eddy Street Commons further south toward downtown, and with the addition of Trader Joe’s, the 5 Corners area has become the epicenter of game day action,” realtor Brigid Beattie said. “Notre Dame has one of the strongest and most loyal alumni networks in the country, and the demand for expansion in the ND housing market continues to grow, especially among the ND alum.”
Due to their location near Notre Dame, the homes were marketed as an ideal place to stay during the football season.
“The condos are a high end luxury offering which deliver first class living experience to our future residents. These four units will have all of the amenities of a larger community while providing a smaller, more private offering,” Holladay Properties department manager James Randolph said.
Eddy Square’s recently renovated homes were highlighted for their proximity to South Bend stores and restaurants.
“We see a strong desire in the marketplace for buyers and renters to live within walking distance to both Notre Dame's campus and the Eddy Street Commons area. They value the access to Trader Joe’s, restaurants and retail options that they can walk out their door and take advantage of,” Smith said.
Prices for the new townhouses are starting around $350,000 and have open floor plans, advanced kitchen set-ups and other stylish features. There are units that are currently available, providing an option for families coming to the area.
“We expect the condominiums to be completed by summer 2025 and the apartments are on a similar time frame with residents moving in by next fall,” Smith said.
The townhouses are varying structures that allow for a variety of different home plans for buyers to choose from. They have between three and five bedrooms, providing a range of options. Additionally, the available private parking and maintenance-free living provide a convenient living environment for purchasers.
