Parkview Tower

About the Building

Located in the heart of the popular Lincoln Park neighborhood, Park View Tower is a beautifully-constructed residential high-rise that has been around since 1974 and offers all the modern amenities you need to live in comfort and style in the big city. The building houses 150 separate condos with assigned/deeded 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 1,000 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 58 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 334 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 378 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, it’s important to consider what a place like this in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago is going to cost. Of course, the numbers vary 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 studio to sell went for $161,000 in April 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 the Park View Tower, taxes generally cost $1,475 annually, so factor that in when calculating that mortgage rate.
