Wellington Place

About the Building

This beautifully-constructed Chicago condo building has been around since 1953 and offers all the modern amenities you need to live in comfort and style in the big city. It houses 116 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 Lakeview East dwelling offers several different layouts with varying numbers of bedrooms and unit size.

On average, the residences in Wellington Place provide 717 square feet of living space, and most of the units contain 1 bedroom, which can range in area from 132 square feet to 176 square feet. But home isn't only about where you lay your head at night though - 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 55 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 249 square-foot dining room. There’s also a 336 square-foot living room in which to let your guests roam around without ever having to worry about bumping elbows.

In addition to the unit basics, you'd probably interested in learning about the cost of living in a place like this in East Lakeview.
