5400 Walnut Ave

The Terraces is an eight-story condominium complex completed in 1979 comprising predominantly two-bedroom residences configured as end and mid units with generous open living and dining combinations. Exterior features include private balconies off many units, monitored entry, and landscaped grounds that offer views toward the surrounding neighborhood and, on clear days, the Chicago skyline. Units often showcase built-in millwork, walk-in closets, pantry storage, granite or quartz counters, and flexible layouts with first-floor bedroom/bath options in some plans. Common areas consist of a secured lobby with elevator access, a large rentable clubhouse, on-site coin laundry facilities on each floor, and basement storage and bike rooms. Mechanical updates are common in listings, with frequent recent replacements of furnaces and HVAC units; select residences have deeded heated garage spaces in the under-building parking area while surface guest parking is available. The building’s management enforces condominium rules including pet allowances (cats commonly permitted), restrictions on rentals in some cases, and routine move-in/out procedures. Located within easy reach of I‑355, I‑88 and Belmont Metra station, the property sits in a suburban setting offering commuter convenience plus nearby shopping, restaurants and transit connections.
