Chicago Condos

A few years back, top quality, high-rise condos with amenities like indoor parking, swimming pools, gyms, cleaning services, doorman, security features and more could only be found along the Gold Coast, downtown and on the lakefront areas of Chicago. They commanded high prices and higher rents.

Chicago condos can be high rise or low rise( under 4 storeys), own or row houses condos, duplex (one house over another), triplex or single detached houses, stacked townhouses ordetached plots condos. Then there are the mixed use condos that are part-commerical part-residential. Chicago condos come in various sizes with diverse features and in every price range.

A condominium describes how a home or some other property is owned, not what kind of property it is. If you own an apartment, then it's an apartment-style condominium. As a Chicago condo unit owner you are required to pay a monthly fee for the upkeep of the common elements. 'Common elements' are the areas shared by residents, such as lobbies, parking garages, and recreational facilities such as pools and gyms. These spaces are looked after by the condominium corporation.
