1000 N Lake Shore Dr

This is a midcentury 23-story full-service residential condominium built in 1953 and located in Chicago’s Gold Coast near Lake Shore Drive. The tower predominantly contains two-bedroom floor plans alongside smaller one-bedroom variations, with many units featuring open living/dining configurations, built-in storage, hardwood or parquet floors, and updated kitchens with stone counters. Common interior elements include a staffed lobby with 24-hour door personnel, elevators, designated storage lockers, on-site management and engineer, and community spaces such as a receiving room and laundry. Exterior amenities emphasize urban outdoor living: private balconies on some residences, a landscaped roof deck/sundeck on the upper level with lake and city views, and exterior lighting. Building services and conveniences are substantial for the era—valet and rental garage parking are available, dry-cleaning pickup on-site, and bike storage. Pet policies are moderate (small dogs commonly permitted). Located a block or two from Oak Street Beach, the Magnificent Mile and Rush Street, the building sits in a dense retail and dining corridor with easy access to parks, lakefront paths and public transit, making it walkable and transit-friendly for everyday errands and recreation.
