3180 N Lake Shore Dr

A 23-story, 1953-built full-service condominium high-rise on Chicago’s lakefront, primarily composed of two- and three-bedroom residences. The exterior presents a midcentury profile with large windows and a communal roof deck; building access is staffed with a 24-hour doorperson and monitored entry. Units feature period millwork and high ceilings in many homes, with a mix of classic and renovated interiors: hardwood floors, built-in bookcases and wet bars in older units, and updated kitchens with granite or quartz counters and stainless appliances in remodeled homes. Common areas include a formal lobby, library, multiple health/fitness rooms, and sizable sundeck areas with grills and a fire pit. Practical conveniences run from elevator service and designated storage to on-site management, guest parking and valet/garage parking options for a fee. Laundry and central air have been added or allowed in many units; some tiers offer semi-private access with only two units per landing. The building’s rules vary by unit regarding in-unit washer/dryer and pet allowances; assessments commonly cover most utilities. Located in East Lakeview near Belmont Harbor and Lake Shore Drive, the property sits steps from the lakefront trail, parks, public transit and neighborhood retail and dining, offering a lifestyle oriented to waterfront views and urban convenience.
