Brooklyn Nets assistant coach Juwan Howard, the Chicago native and Chicago Vocational standout who played for 20 years in the NBA before launching a new career as a men’s basketball coach, on March 14 sold his longtime three-bedroom, 3,100-square-foot town home on the Near South Side for its $875,000 asking price.
The 6-foot-9-inch Howard, 52, never had the opportunity to play for his hometown Chicago Bulls over his 20 years in the NBA, but he has owned several homes here over the years. He paid $490,000 in 1996 for the end-unit town home, which is in the Museum Park development and which is close to former Mayor Richard M. Daley’s onetime town home in that neighborhood.
Howard briefly had the town home on the market in 2018 for $980,000. He relisted it in February for $875,000 and he went under contract at his full asking price just 10 days after placing it on the market.
Built in 1993, the town home has 2-1/2 bathrooms, two fireplaces, four levels of space, a primary bedroom suite that comprises an entire level and a two-car garage.
Listing agent Joseph Kotoch of Compass declined to comment on the sale.
The town home had a $22,862 property tax bill in the 2023 tax year.
Howard owns a home in Coral Gables, Fla., which he purchased in 2014 for $3.4 million. In Chicago, he previously had owned a three-bedroom, 3,080-square-foot condominium unit on the 53rd floor of the Trump International Hotel and Tower that he sold in 2015 for $2.775 million.
