915 Graceland Ave

A low-rise, three-story brick condominium constructed in 1971, the complex offers modest, well-maintained residential living in downtown Des Plaines. Units are primarily one-bedroom plans with formal dining areas, galley kitchens and sliding glass doors that open to private balconies; a mix of corner and interior locations creates variations in light and layout. Common elements emphasize practicality: an interior laundry room with coin-operated machines, individual storage lockers, and assigned outdoor parking spaces. Monthly assessments are unusually inclusive for this class, routinely covering heat, gas, water and basic exterior maintenance such as lawn care and snow removal. The building’s exterior presents durable brickwork and a quiet street presence; interior finishes vary because many units have been updated over time with newer windows, flooring, kitchens and baths. Policies favor owner-occupancy: rentals and most pets are prohibited, and some units may not be FHA-approved. Its compact footprint near the Metra station, bus lines, shops, restaurants and the River Walk places daily errands and commuter connections within easy walking distance.
