1819 S Michigan

About the Building

Everyone has a different idea of what their dream home should be, but regardless of what yours is, it's hard to ignore the attraction of the South Loop, Chicago's fastest-growing neighborhood. This Chicago condo building at 1819 S Michigan was completed in 2005 and has since become one of the most popular residences in this red-hot neighborhood.

This beautifully-constructed residential development offers all the modern amenities you need to live in comfort and style in the big city, including easy access to parks, dining, nightlife, and downtown Chicago. It houses 94 separate units with assigned/deeded parking to accommodate residents who own their own vehicles. In addition to the well-maintained craftsmanship of the building, this great dwelling offers several different layouts with varying numbers of bedrooms and unit size. However, all of the units feature hardwood floors and enormous floor-to-ceiling windows that afford spectacular views of the downtown Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan.

On average, the residences in this building provide 795 square feet of living space. The choice of floorplans include anywhere from 1 to 2 bedrooms, which can range in area from 132 square feet to 132 square feet. But home isn't only about where you lay your head at night-the rest of the place is just as essential when looking for that perfect abode. The cook in the household will find the kitchens here are divine, covering 80 - 130 square feet of the entire unit. That's enough room to whip up a delicious five-course meal for the occasional dinner party, which can be hosted in the 345 square-foot dining room. And what would a get-together be without a bit of mingling before sitting down to eat? Good thing there's a large 364 square-foot living room to let your guests roam around, and not even have to worry about bumping elbows.

The lowest listing price in the building is just below the market price and the average is just or slightly above the market price. The latest 1-bedroom place to sell went for $232,487 around 07/30/2006. Now, on top of the asking price, it's important to think about the added expenses residents need to pay in taxes every year. For property in this building, the taxes generally cost $1,500 - $4,000 annually, so factor that in when calculating that mortgage rate.
