1060 Shermer Rd

Shermer Square is a low-rise, four-story condominium complex built in 1979 that groups primarily two-bedroom homes around shared indoor and outdoor amenities. The exterior reads as conventional suburban mid- to late-20th-century multifamily construction with private balconies overlooking mature landscaping and adjacent forest preserve. Units feature practical, updated interiors: open living/dining layouts, granite or quartz counters, modernized kitchens, in-unit laundry or dedicated laundry rooms, built-in storage and walk-in closets, and floor-to-ceiling window groupings or sliding glass doors that bring natural light into living spaces. Common building elements include an elevator serving all floors, assigned heated garage parking with additional storage cages, and controlled access to an on-site outdoor swimming pool. Maintenance is managed through an HOA that covers exterior upkeep, landscaping, snow removal and water, creating a low-maintenance ownership model. The site is highly walkable to downtown Northbrook — close to the Metra station, restaurants, library, parks and transit — and benefits from proximity to the adjacent forest preserve, offering residents treetop views and a suburban-community rhythm rather than an urban high-rise pace.
