1925 Lake Ave

A low-rise condominium complex built in 1999, Lake Courts Optima is a three-story elevator building of primarily one- and two-bedroom residences arranged around landscaped courtyards. Exterior finishes are understated and residential in scale, with private balconies, exterior lighting, and covered entries that complement a neighborhood setting. Interiors favor practical, condo-style layouts: open living/dining areas, eat-in kitchens often large enough for a table, in-unit laundry in many units, and storage conveniently located either on the same floor or on the third floor. Typical suite features cited across listings include walk-in closets, parquet or hardwood floors, skylights in kitchens and baths, gas fireplaces in select units, and built-in cabinetry and bookcases. Building amenities focus on everyday convenience and year-round comfort: a heated underground garage with assigned spaces (often two per unit), an on-site exercise room, elevator access, and dedicated storage lockers. Management appears hands-on with well-maintained common areas and efficient maintenance. Located in central Wilmette, the property places residents a short walk from shops, restaurants, transit, parks, Lake Michigan access, and within the New Trier school district, making it a practical, community-oriented option for downsizers, professionals, and families seeking low-rise suburban condo living.
