About the Building

Located in the heart of the glamorous Gold Coast neighborhood at 1440 N. Lake Shore Drive, this fashionable high-rise condo development is one of the most desirable places to live in Chicago. This 34-floor residential structure was built in the early 1960s and rests at the edge of Lake Michigan. It’s also just steps away from Michigan Avenue, Chicago’s main commercial artery.

The units in this building provide a variety of layouts that range from studios to 3+ bedrooms. Depending on the size of the property, you can expect to pay anywhere from just below the market price to just or slightly above the market price for a place in this Gold Coast residence. The larger units offer 650 square feet of living space while the smaller ones are 575 square feet in area. The various floorplans include kitchens that range from 63 square feet to 83 square feet, which should provide plenty of counter space to mass produce lunches for kids to take to school, prepare dinner for the family, or assemble a masterful spread of finger-foods for the next spur-of-the-moment get-together thrown your way. And don't worry about where everyone is going to sit; with 380 square-foot living rooms and 336 square-foot dining rooms you can treat your guests to a formal affair at the dinner table, or let them hangout in front of the TV.

Sometimes the most crucial factor in purchasing a new home is whether your four-legged family member is welcome in the building or not. Well, this is one residential building that happens to be pet friendly, so Fluffy and Fido can make the move, too.
