415 Franklin Ave

A mid-century, five-story elevator condominium built in 1969, this River Forest property combines low-rise scale with substantial, well-maintained common areas. The masonry structure features Flexicore construction and landscaped grounds providing mature trees and garden views from many units. Typical residences are two- and three-bedroom layouts with generous room proportions, multiple closets (often walk-in), formal entry foyers, and private balconies or patios. Kitchens range from original to thoughtfully updated, with granite or solid-surface counters in some homes and occasional wet bars in larger units. Building-level conveniences include an elevator, assigned heated garage parking and exterior parking spaces, dedicated storage lockers, and laundry facilities on the first floor. The association is described in listings as financially sound with healthy reserves; assessments commonly include heat. Restrictions historically noted include no pets, no in-unit washer/dryers, and limits on rentals in some units. The site is highly walkable: a short walk to the River Forest Metra station, local groceries, library, parks, schools, and neighborhood shops, offering a suburban village feel with easy commuter access.
