450 W Downer Pl

A midrise, five-story condominium building constructed in 1968 and primarily configured as two- and three-bedroom residences. The exterior is traditional masonry with a central landscaped courtyard and a secured entrance leading into a shared lobby. Units range from standard-level condos to top-floor penthouse layouts; many feature private balconies or enclosed/screened porches and some residences include built-in shelving and dry bar elements. Common interior features include an elevator, first-floor bedroom and full bath options in select units, pantry and storage rooms, and coin or shared laundry facilities on each floor alongside occasional in-unit washer/dryer installations. Community spaces include a first-floor social room and a roof deck with views; underground heated parking and assigned covered garage spaces are provided plus extra storage lockers. The association maintains grounds, snow removal and utilities such as water and cable in the HOA fee; building policies reflect a primarily 55+ residency requirement with limited younger occupancy and tight rental and pet restrictions. Located in Aurora with easy access to Metra, bus routes, downtown dining and cultural venues, the property emphasizes low-maintenance living and communal common areas for social gatherings.
