711 S River Rd

An eight-story midrise constructed in 1980, this condominium building occupies a downtown Des Plaines location within easy walking distance of the Metra, shops, restaurants, library and theater. The masonry structure is served by secure, monitored entry and an elevator that accesses all residential floors. Units are predominately two-bedroom and one- to two-bath floor plans with open living/dining layouts, walk-in closets, private balconies, and built-in storage rooms on each floor. Individual residences show a mix of original and updated finishes—granite counters, wood- and laminate-style flooring, millwork and newer windows or sliding doors in many units. Shared amenities include an exercise room, party/meeting room with kitchen facilities, sauna, common laundry on each floor, and a landscaped courtyard for outdoor relaxation. Covered, heated garage parking spots are deeded to many units and additional surface guest parking is available. The building enforces a no-dog policy for some units and maintains on-site storage and monitored entry systems for resident convenience. Its central location offers easy access to commuter transit, major expressways and the Des Plaines Riverwalk, supporting an urban-suburban lifestyle.
