512 W Barry Ave

A small midrise condominium in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood, completed in 1960 and converted to condos in the 2000s, the five-story elevator building contains primarily junior one-bedroom and one-bedroom-plus-den residences. Façade and massing are modest and neighborhood-scaled, with upper-floor corner units and private balconies that open to tree-lined streets. Interiors commonly feature hardwood floors, crown moulding, updated kitchens with granite counters and stainless steel appliances, walk-in or organized closets, and in-unit laundry or convenient hookups. Common areas include an attended entry with updated lobby and corridor finishes, a bike room, storage cages, and a shared laundry room for some units; many units report deeded, secured garage parking available for an additional fee or included with select listings. Building services are typical of a boutique elevator condominium: professionally managed with on-site maintenance, door monitoring, and assessments that often cover cable and internet. Pet policies and exact parking arrangements vary by unit; the location emphasizes walkability — immediate access to restaurants, retail, public transit, and the lakefront — making the building oriented to urban, convenience-focused living.
