Sunset Woods Condos is a low-rise, three-story residential complex built in 2002 and configured primarily as two-bedroom condominium residences tailored to older adults. The masonry-clad structure contains an elevator and offers a mix of street-level and upper-floor units, some overlooking a landscaped front courtyard or adjacent Sunset Park. Interiors commonly feature open layouts, granite counters, oak cabinetry, engineered hardwood or new carpeting, walk-in closets, first-floor bedroom and full-bath options, and in-unit stackable washer/dryer hookups. Accessible elements appear in several units, including ADA-style toilets, showers, and radiant heated floors in some apartments. Shared spaces emphasize social and recreational programming: a staffed lobby, library/TV room, party and card/game rooms, exercise/health facilities, storage rooms, and a third-floor terrace/roof deck with outdoor grills and patio seating. Parking is provided via an underground garage with spaces allocated on a rotating basis, and building access is monitored by door cameras and exterior lighting. The community operates under age- and income-restricted affordable housing guidelines (generally 62+ with specific income and asset caps) and enforces owner-occupancy with no short-term rentals. Located within walking distance of downtown Highland Park amenities — shops, restaurants, movie theater, and the Metra station — the complex also benefits from local senior transit services connecting residents to neighborhood destinations.
