Plaza Des Plaines is a five-story, midrise condominium complex built in 1983 and configured primarily with one- and two-bedroom residences. The exterior presents traditional masonry construction with concrete floors and a brick façade; many residences are corner units with long, multi-access balconies that extend the living areas outdoors. Interiors favor roomy, open-plan circulation: separate dining rooms, generous living rooms, eat-in kitchens, and full-size in-unit laundry or dedicated laundry rooms in larger units. Ceiling-to-floor layouts include features such as walk-in closets, plentiful storage on the same floor, updated kitchens with maple or cherry cabinetry and stainless appliances in remodeled units, and updated baths. Common areas include a staffed lobby, two elevators, interior hallways, and a secure heated garage with assigned spaces; additional exterior parking and a dog run are available. Building systems have seen community-level updates — windows, roof, balcony surfacing, and garage resealing have been replaced over time — and the association maintains substantial reserves while including heat (and often water) in assessments. The property is professionally managed and positioned within walking distance of downtown Des Plaines amenities, Metra commuter rail, bus lines, shopping, parks, and restaurants, offering a commuter-friendly, neighborhood-oriented lifestyle.
