1636 N Wls St

A 34-story residential condominium completed in 1971, this Old Town high-rise is composed primarily of one-bedroom residences with large windows and private balconies. The tower’s exterior reads as a traditional mid-century slab with a prominent roof deck; units feature hardwood or laminate floors, built-in storage, and open living/dining plans that often include a pass-through kitchen. Common interior spaces include a staffed lobby with 24-hour doorman, elevator access, on-site management, and laundry facilities. Health and wellness amenities are substantial for the building’s vintage: an outdoor pool and sundeck, fitness room, sauna, and change facilities. Social and service amenities include a party room, dry cleaner on site, storage options, and vehicle parking with both garage and rental spaces typically available. Unit finishes across listings range from original condition to fully updated kitchens and baths with quartz or granite counters and stainless appliances. The building’s pet and rental policies vary by unit but commonly allow investors and have on-site parking for a fee. Located steps from Old Town and Lincoln Park attractions, the tower offers immediate access to lakefront paths, restaurants, theaters, public transit, and neighborhood shopping, oriented toward an urban, walkable lifestyle.
