About this property
Twenty Stories Rising Above Oak Park
Oak Park doesn't have many buildings that go twenty stories, which makes this 2017 high-rise something of an outlier on its own street. Two hundred seventy apartment homes fill the tower, each with in-unit laundry rather than a shared room down the hall. The pool and fitness center handle the practical side of downtime, and a walk score near the top of the scale means most of Oak Park's shops and restaurants are reachable without a car, even if transit connections run thinner than they would closer to the city. Nightlife here runs unusually high for the area, with more after-dark activity nearby than the quiet reputation of Oak Park might suggest.
