The skyline is the first thing you see, and it stretches all the way to the lake. This 8th-floor one-bedroom at South Commons frames it through floor-to-ceiling windows and a private balcony made for morning coffee and evening city lights. The kitchen is fully remodeled with new cabinetry, counters and stainless appliances, open to a bright living and dining area. The bedroom is generous, with ample closet space and a full bath nearby. Nothing to renovate. Just move in. Monthly assessments include heat, gas, water, the pools and common insurance, so owning here can cost about what renting a similar unit does. South Commons offers 24-hour security, on-site management, two outdoor pools, a bike room, storage and parking available. Recent improvements include a full water riser replacement, new roofs on the low-rise buildings, resurfaced parking lots and LED lighting throughout. You are steps from the 31st Street Beach and lakefront trail, Mariano's, IIT and McCormick Place, with the Red Line, Metra Electric, I-55 and Lake Shore Drive minutes away.
