16300 Van Aken Blvd

Van Aken Towers is a single-story footprint of a larger landmark complex built in 1930 that reads like a low-rise, Georgian-influenced apartment condominium in Shaker Heights. The masonry exterior employs brick and stone with classical proportions, leaded and curved windows, and multiple entries that open to landscaped courtyards and garden beds. Suites vary widely in plan and vintage updates, from airy top-floor units accessed by elevator to first-floor homes that feel like single-family residences; typical interiors highlight arched hallways, curved walls, oval living rooms, hardwood floors, and prominent marble or wood-burning fireplaces. Common elements include an elevator serving select sections, on-site management and custodian, a fitness room in the lower level, storage lockers, and an interior connection to a heated, underground garage with assigned parking and car-wash access. Maintenance fees often cover heat, water, sewer, landscaping, snow removal and garage heat; building services also include a community garden and exterior grounds maintenance. Located one block from the Van Aken/rapid transit and adjacent retail, the property combines historic architectural character with immediate walkability to groceries, parks, transit, and the redeveloping Van Aken District.
