Property Description
This updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath condo (1,000 sq. ft.) is a rentable, investor-friendly opportunity in a high-demand rental location-ideal for generating immediate income or adding a low-maintenance asset to your portfolio. The open-concept layout, natural light, and private balcony overlooking the courtyard create strong tenant appeal, while recent updates including hardwood flooring, fresh paint, stainless steel appliances, and newer mechanicals (AC & furnace 2023) help minimize upfront costs and ongoing maintenance. Located in a well-managed, amenity-rich community, residents enjoy access to a clubhouse, outdoor pool, and lake rights-features that support strong rental demand and tenant retention. The HOA covers water, exterior maintenance, snow removal, scavenger service, and common insurance, making ownership simple and predictable. Additional highlights include assigned parking, storage, and modern finishes, all of which increase rental desirability. Situated near downtown Des Plaines, Metra, O'Hare International Airport, major highways (I-294 & I-90), shopping, dining, and medical centers, this property is perfectly positioned for commuters and long-term tenants. Fully rentable and move-in ready, this is a turnkey investment with strong upside potential and minimal hassle-ideal for both new and experienced investors.
