1100 W Montrose Ave

An eight-story midrise condominium erected in 2000, this brick-and-concrete residence clusters primarily two-bedroom homes across a modest elevator-served footprint. Architecture is straightforward urban midrise: brick exterior, concrete flexicore slabs, and a modest lobby that opens to a light-filled circulation core. Unit layouts favor loft-like openness — many homes feature two-story great rooms or cathedral ceilings, open kitchens with granite or quartz counters and maple or oak cabinetry, gas fireplaces, built-in bookcases, and ample storage including walk-in closets and pantry space. Most units offer private outdoor space in the form of balconies, and select penthouses include oversized terraces with city and park views. Common areas are residential-scale rather than hotel-scale: a secured lobby with monitored entry, two elevators, and a large shared roof deck with panoramic skyline vistas. Parking is provided in a heated gated garage with assigned spaces and additional bike storage and individual storage cages in some buildings. Practical conveniences include in-unit laundry, centralized HVAC with forced-air heating, and durable hardwood or engineered flooring in many homes. The building’s pet policies are generally permissive in listings and the location sits within the Sheridan Park/Uptown corridor offering immediate access to transit (Wilson station), supermarkets, restaurants, parks, and lakefront recreational paths.
