The Newport

About the Building

Located at 4800 S. Lake Shore Drive, this fashionable condo development in Chicago's historic Kenwood neighborhood is one of the most sought-after addresses on Chicago's south side. This building, which was completed in the early 1960s, is one of the largest residential buildings in Kenwood, and as such, residents enjoy excellent sightlines of the lakefront and the downtown skyline.

The units in this building provide a range 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 Oakland residence. The larger units offer 550 square feet of living space while the smaller ones are 514 square feet in area. Most of the kitchens in the building are 70 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 300 square-foot living rooms and 280 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.

Ample living space or not, 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.
