1633 River St

A mid-rise condominium completed in 1972, this five-story elevator building contains primarily one-bedroom units with occasional two-bedroom floorplans. Exterior lines are straightforward mid-century residential masonry with private balconies for many homes and an attached heated garage serving assigned parking spaces. Interior units favor open living plans, granite or laminate counters in kitchens, hardwood or updated laminate floors, sizable storage closets and shared on-floor coin laundry facilities. Common areas include a modest lobby and elevator access; the association covers radiant heat, gas, water, exterior maintenance and common insurance. Building rules and management practices are typical of established condo communities: some rental restrictions and pet limitations apply, and many units sell as-is. The property sits on a quiet street within downtown Des Plaines, a short walk to the Metra train, retail, restaurants, library and nearby parks — offering commuter convenience, nearby shopping and easy access to I-294 and O’Hare. Overall the building presents practical, commuter-oriented condominium living with functional amenities and a history of steady upkeep.
