Museum Tower

About the Building

This beautifully-constructed condo development in Chicago's South Loop was just finished in 2006 and offers all the modern amenities you need to live in comfort and style in the big city. It houses 276 separate units with underground/covered 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.

On average, the residences in this building provide 941 square feet of living space. The choice of floorplans includes both 1- and 2-bedroom units, each of which can range in area from 132 square feet to 154 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 105 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 335 square-foot dining room. There's also a large 360 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 South Loop of Chicago going to cost? Of course, the numbers change depending on the particular unit, but 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 $312,710 around 01/16/2007. 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.
