1300 N Astor St

A mid-century high-rise condominium completed in 1963, the Astor Tower rises 28 stories on Chicago’s Gold Coast. Designed with a distinctive modernist sensibility, the building is known for floor-to-ceiling windows that maximize light and panoramic views of Lake Michigan, the skyline, and nearby Goudy Park. Residences are primarily one-bedroom layouts, including corner and half-floor plans, many with open living/dining configurations, hardwood floors, granite or quartz counters, and built-in storage; some units feature in-unit laundry and expanded or updated kitchens with high-end appliances. Common areas emphasize full-service residential living: a staffed 24-hour doorman, staffed lobby, on-site property management and maintenance, elevator service, and a building engineer. Shared amenities include a fitness room, roof deck with grills and broad city and lake views, laundry facilities (with board-approved in-unit options), and limited garage parking available for an additional fee. Exterior features include monitored entry and outdoor grilling on the rooftop. The building permits pets (restrictions vary), accommodates both owner-occupants and investors, and places residents within easy walking distance of the lakefront, Oak Street shops, restaurants, transit, and the historic Astor Street mansions, delivering an urban, amenity-forward Gold Coast lifestyle.
