4343 N Clarendon Ave

A 28-story residential condominium tower built in 1973, this midcentury high-rise occupies a lakeshore-adjacent block in Chicago. Units range from studios to two-bedroom layouts, many arranged to maximize views with floor-to-ceiling windows and open living/dining plans. Interior finishes in individual residences vary by renovation era and include hardwood and laminate floors, granite or quartz counters, built-in storage, walk-in closets, and thoughtful built-ins such as Murphy beds in some studios. The building offers a full complement of staffed and resident services: 24-hour doorman and monitored entry, on-site management and engineering, elevators, laundry facilities, and dry-cleaning service. Shared amenity spaces are extensive and park-like, with an in-ground outdoor pool, expansive landscaped sundeck with grills, tennis courts, roof deck, party/meeting room, bike room, storage options, and a dog run. Parking is available on site — both garage and deeded spaces — and some listings include parking in sale price. Pet policies are permissive, welcoming large dogs. Located a block from Lake Michigan, the property sits within walking distance of Montrose Harbor, parks, grocery and neighborhood retail, with express bus service at the door and convenient access to the Red Line and other transit corridors. Financially sturdy building operations are noted in listings, and the community supports investor ownership and short- to long-term rentals under current rules.
