The Newport Condominium is a 27-story midcentury high-rise completed in 1962, offering studio, one- and two-bedroom residences across a twin-tower configuration with notable lake and city sightlines. The exterior reflects the era’s pragmatic modernism with large window bays that provide panoramic views; many units report recent window replacements and occasional mid-2010s interior updates. Common interior features emphasize built-in storage and flexible layouts—walk-in closets, built-in bookcases, and open dining/living combinations are common—alongside practical finishes such as granite and quartz counters in renovated kitchens. Shared spaces are extensive and hotel-like: two lobbies with 24-hour doorman service, a residents’ library and receiving room, party room and storage lockers. Wellness and recreation amenities include an indoor heated Olympic-style pool, sundeck/roof deck, hot tub, sauna, and a health club with an exercise room (membership fee applies). The building also supplies conveniences such as on-site management and maintenance, laundry facilities, dry cleaning, a bike room, a private shuttle to nearby shopping and transit, and valet/indoor heated parking options for purchase. Located in Historic Kenwood/Hyde Park, the property sits near the University of Chicago, museum and lakefront parks, with frequent transit, retail corridors on 53rd Street, and direct access to Lake Shore Drive that suits both daily errands and cultural attractions.
