5740 N Sheridan Rd

An 18-story midcentury condominium building completed in 1961, this boutique elevator property occupies a prominent Edgewater block near the Lake Shore. The building’s exterior presents the straightforward lines and durable materials typical of its era, with monitored entry and exterior lighting adding basic security. Floors are served by elevators and a staffed lobby with evening door personnel; common systems include flexicore construction and centralized mechanicals. Residential inventory is dominated by two-bedroom plans along with a mix of one-bedroom and den layouts found in representative listings, many featuring high ceilings, generous closet storage, and updated kitchens and baths in renovated units. Shared amenities at the building level include a doorman/door staff, on-site laundry, bike storage, additional storage cages, and monitored entry with TV intercom; parking is available on-site or via nearby garage rentals with occasional waitlists. Monthly assessments commonly cover heat and utilities, and the association is FHA-approved with historically large reserve funds. The property sits steps from Lake Michigan, beaches, the Lakefront Trail, transit (express buses and nearby Red Line stops), grocery and retail corridors, offering a walkable urban-suburban lifestyle popular with commuters, students, and buyers seeking proximity to parks and shorefront recreation.
