About the Building

This beautifully-constructed mid-rise condo development has been around since 1968 and offers all the modern amenities you need to live in comfort and style in the big city. The building houses 64 separate units with general vicinity parking to accommodate residents who own their own vehicles. In addition to the well-maintained craftsmanship of the building, this Lincoln Park dwelling offers several different layouts with varying numbers of bedrooms and unit size.

On average, the residences in this building provide 1000 square feet of living space. The choice of floorplans include anywhere from studio to 2 bedrooms, which can range in area from 132 square feet to 200+ 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 77 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 269 square-foot dining room. There's also a large 315 square-foot living room to let your guests roam around, and not even have to worry about bumping elbows.

In addition to the unit basics, you'd probably like to know some of the figures behind the fundamentals-more specifically, what's a place like this in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago going to cost? Of course, the numbers change depending on the particular unit, but the average listing price for a unit in this building is $186,900. The latest studio residence to sell went for $180,000 in autumn of 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 between $1,500 and $4,000 annually, so factor that in when calculating that mortgage rate.
