1305 W 53Rd St

A low-rise condominium complex built in 1971, comprised of two-story townhouse-style units offering one- and two-bedroom floor plans. Exterior character is modest and functional with individual balconies, small private courtyards and shared outdoor barbecue areas set amid fenced grounds. Many residences are arranged as duplexes with living areas and some utilities on the ground level and bedrooms upstairs; common exterior stairs and second-floor entries are typical. Interiors reflect incremental updates over time: tiled and wood floors, renovated kitchens with granite counters in some units, walk-in closets, pantry and a mix of full and half-bath configurations. Common features include in-unit laundry or laundry rooms adjacent to kitchens in several units, covered assigned parking (often two spaces per unit), and low association fees that typically cover common-area insurance, basic utilities and trash. The community’s scale promotes a neighborhood feel with easy pedestrian access to retail and transit corridors; properties are marketed as suitable for first-time buyers and investors, with frequent bank-owned and auction sales in the inventory. Pet and specific service policies vary by unit/association, and buyers should verify reserves and condo rules with management.
