450 S Western Ave

A well-maintained midrise condominium completed in 2003, this five-story elevator building groups primarily two-bedroom residences designed for comfortable everyday living. Units typically feature 9–10 foot ceilings, open living and dining layouts, granite kitchen counters, maple or cherry cabinetry, in-unit full-size laundry rooms, generous walk-in closets and plentiful storage. Many homes occupy corner positions with large sliding doors that open to private balconies and expansive sightlines; some top-floor units have no shared ceilings above. Common elements include a secure lobby, passenger elevator, flexicore construction, a roof deck/sun terrace and assigned heated garage parking with individual storage lockers. The property allows pets with customary limits and is managed as a professionally run association that covers heat and cooking gas in assessments for several units. Located within walking distance of downtown Des Plaines, the Metra commuter station, restaurants, parks and shopping, the setting offers easy access to I-294 and O’Hare, blending suburban calm with transit-oriented convenience.
