500 Northshore Rd

A single-story condominium complex built in 1975, Chateau Royale presents garden-style living across low-rise structures laid out with landscaped courtyards and private outdoor space. Units are predominantly one- and two-bedroom floor plans with conventional layouts: entry foyers, centralized halls, tiled bathrooms, and modest kitchens. Many residences open to private balconies, patios or small fenced yards; interior finishes commonly include wall-to-wall carpeting, recessed lighting, and in-unit wall AC systems. Shared building features emphasize everyday convenience and recreation — an in-ground swimming pool, tennis courts, a sauna and an exercise room — with on-site laundry, storage rooms, and assigned parking. Exterior grounds are professionally landscaped and include walkways, screened porches, and occasional decks. Condo fees historically cover heat, hot water, master insurance, landscaping, and exterior maintenance, supporting a managed, low-hassle ownership. The complex sits in a suburban Peabody location close to shopping, medical centers, major highways (Routes 128/95/1) and public transit, combining a quiet, park-like setting with easy regional access. Owner-occupancy rules and modest unit sizes make the community oriented toward long-term residents and downsizers rather than short-term rentals.
