1066 Shermer Rd

A low-rise condominium complex built in 1979 and set in a heavily treed Northbrook neighborhood, this four-story property contains predominantly two-bedroom residences spread across just a few units per floor. Exterior character is defined by generous balconies and broad views of adjacent forest preserve areas; underground heated garage parking and outdoor pool are shared community features. Interiors emphasize comfortable, mid-century suburban layouts with foyers, open living/dining arrangements, gas fireplaces in many units, in-unit laundry, and abundant closet and storage space including separate storage cages on each floor. Residents use an elevator to reach upper levels; some ground-floor units offer first-floor bedrooms and full baths for accessibility. Building services are minimal but practical: assigned underground parking, guest parking, and routine exterior maintenance. Located within easy walking distance of Northbrook’s downtown, Metra station, shops, library and parks, the complex suits buyers seeking a serene, tree-lined setting with convenient transit and neighborhood access rather than an urban high-rise experience.
