Pros to Buying a Garden Unit Condo in Chicago

If you’re in the market for a new condo you may want to consider a garden unit. That’s because there are plenty of pros when it comes to buying a garden unit condo.

To begin with, a garden unit is located on the ground floor or slightly below street level, with easy access to a backyard garden or patio. They sometimes also offer a small front porch.

The accessibility also means you won’t have to contend with stairs. Whether stocking up on weekly groceries or more easily moving in furniture, a garden unit is the way to go.

Condos at 2035 N. Orleans Quietly Hit the MLS

The condos coming to 2035 N. Orleans are now listed on the MLS, providing just a few more luxury options to anybody searching Lincoln Park condos for sale. 

In hopes to essentially re-purpose an old parking garage at 2035 N. Orleans, those behind the project are simply planning to gut the garage entirely, transforming its inside into ten fabulous condominium residences that will no doubt make for one of the more unique new developments in Lincoln Park. While the 1930s-era garage only stands three-stories high, the new condo building would actually rise five-stories off ground level, giving the perception that the glass-walled interior building rises behind the old structure, instead of from within.

A 15-foot gap between the second and third stories…
