This place checks a lot of boxes. Might it be the nicest and biggest residence in the building? Sort of conflicts with the “buy one of the worst houses on one of the best streets” wisdom, but a younger boomer/older gen-x who’s ready to let a younger family pay the taxes on their house in the northern burbs could do worse than to pay cash for this.
We briefly considered a unit in this building but it needed too much work and, for the assessment, we would have wanted a pool (had put a place in 2500 Lakeview under contract for a few days, so that set the bar for what to expect assessments-wise).
“pay the taxes on their house in the northern burbs”
This place in Winnetka is similarly underassessed compared to asking price as the featured unit:

The tax rate spread bt New Trier and Chicago is nothing like it was 25 years ago. You are somewhat more likely to get an under-assessed property in the city, tho, still.
Seems like a tough sell with $3,700/mo assessments for very few amenities and shoddy hallways and elevators.
For the same monthly nut, would be much more inclined to invest in a higher value property like this one. https://www.redfin.com/IL/Chicago/2773-N-Hampden-Ct-60614/unit-03/home/144232645
Neighbors would be less transient too.
“a higher value property like this one”
It’s really a kids/no-kids question, as the locations are meaningfully different with kids–feature is a block to Parker and in Lincoln ES a-a, alternate…is not.
If older kids, seems pretty obvious except for those with view envy.
Wow that Winnetka place is huge. Didn’t know that about the narrowing of the tax rate spread. My wife’s aunt and uncle had remained in their New Trier (southern border) house for years after their kids had started families (and bought their own houses up there). Had been assuming they’d be downsizing and moving into the city, but they instead recently moved a bit north and into a bigger, nicer house with a pool. I suppose if that’s where your grandkids are at, might as well stay in easy proximity and have a place big enough for them. My Tofurkey’s going to be the same despite the upgraded residence.
Roof situation at the Hampden place is pretty awesome.

The rental ask of 16k a month is so stupid, why do people even put out ludicrous numbers that like…

seriously…how bad can the shared amenities be?!?! I went through 4-5 different listings and no one is showing the exercise room bike room et al
“how bad can the shared amenities be?!?!”
Pic of the fitness center is here:
https://debradobbs.com/345-w-fullerton-pkwy-2505-chicago-il-60614/
“Building amenities include a rooftop sundeck with panoramic views, a state-of-the-art fitness center, 24/7 door staff, and on-site engineering services.”
as to the deck…
the pic here is super dire:

That can’t be real, can it??
“That can’t be real, can it??”
that “roof deck” is rough. and the gym, is there a sign up sheet for the 1 tread mill.
also, in that listing, the view in pic 9…what is that building in the foreground. looks like something out of a 3rd world country.

Views and location are spectacular. Assessments steep.
Thing is, if someone moves here and is a real Chicagoland person with a life and history that includes the rest of the city and/or the burbs, nobody is going to come visit you in this location.
Valet parking? basically no parking. Traffic to get here from almost anywhere is a turn-off. People will find excuses to not visit.
“Thing is, if someone moves here and is a real Chicagoland person with a life and history that includes the rest of the city and/or the burbs, nobody is going to come visit you in this location.”
Huh? It’s near the Zoo that everyone goes to all the time. What do you mean “nobody” is going to come visit you here?

W
hat helmethofer means is that a Chicagoland native with immediate family and long-time friends living in farther out parts of the city and suburbs won’t want to make the trek in, look for parking etc. I grew up on the southwest side still in the city and there are people who look at this part of the north side as an inconvenient place to visit let alone live.
The ones who are worth it will come visit.
“ It’s really a kids/no-kids question, as the locations are meaningfully different with kids–feature is a block to Parker and in Lincoln ES a-a, alternate…is not.”
This comment is wild to me. The two properties are only a few blocks apart….that might make a difference with two toddlers. But even then, those times only last a few short years, and there is tons of public transit in this area to help bridge the gap.
“This comment is wild to me.”
You ignored half of it: one address sends kids to Lincoln, the other to Alcott, which is a meningful difference to many.
And (speaking from experience) 1.5 blocks versus ~6 is a material difference in getting kids out the door. It’s 15 minutes in the morning if your kids are motivated to get from home to school.
