626 W Waveland Ave

A low-rise 4-story courtyard condominium constructed in 1926, this Lakeview East property preserves vintage masonry character and period details while hosting updated one-bedroom units. Residences are predominantly one-bedroom layouts with hardwood floors, high ceilings on upper levels, full walls of windows in corner homes, and wood-burning fireplaces in many units. Kitchens are generally renovated to include modern cabinetry and stainless appliances, and most homes offer in-unit laundry and substantial closet storage. The building centers on a landscaped interior courtyard that frames tree-lined views and provides private common outdoor space; many units include small balconies or decks overlooking the garden. Common building features include monitored entry, generous basement storage rooms and a bike room, plus well-funded reserves and professional on-site management. Pet- and investor-friendly policies are typical, with assessments that commonly cover gas heat and internet. Parking is not integral to the structure but rental and deeded options are available nearby, including garage stalls across the street. Located steps from the lakefront, parks, Wrigley Field, transit lines, shopping and dining, the building offers an urban, walkable Lakeview East lifestyle rooted in vintage charm and practical modern updates.
