About this property

A 1965 High-Rise Fourteen Stories Tall

Fourteen stories and 165 apartments make this one of the taller pre-1970s buildings still standing in something close to its original form on this stretch of Chicago. A rooftop deck and fitness center are the main shared spaces, along with bike storage for residents who'd rather skip the car altogether. The surrounding blocks are solidly walkable, with bus and rail access close enough to make a car-free routine realistic, though the neighborhood itself runs quieter in the evenings than some of the livelier corridors nearby — closer to residential than entertainment district. There's no in-unit laundry or attached parking listed here, typical of buildings built well before those became standard, but the rooftop lounge gives residents an outdoor space that many newer buildings this size skip entirely.
