4000 Bayside Dr

Runaway Bay is a low-rise residential condominium complex in Palatine built in 1976. The buildings rise three stories and are configured for a mix of one- and two-bedroom units, many of which feature first-floor bedroom and full-bath options or private balconies. Interiors commonly include open floorplans, walk-in closets, in-unit storage and elevator access in select buildings; some units offer fireplaces, updated kitchens, and washer/dryer hookups. Exterior amenities emphasize outdoor recreation and social gathering: a clubhouse with party space, an outdoor swimming pool, tennis and sand-volleyball courts, pond-side walking paths with benches, and landscaped common lawns. Apartment entrances and building doors are monitored by TV/security cameras; there is on-site visitor parking and surface resident parking with convenient access to units. The association package typically covers utilities such as heat, gas, and water along with exterior maintenance, snow removal, lawn care and clubhouse/pool upkeep. The complex sits close to major routes (including Route 53 and I-90), shopping corridors and commuter options, positioning it as a suburban community-oriented development with a resort-style amenities program and flexible rental policies.
