Located in the Chicago north side neighborhood of Buena Park, Park Place Tower combines midcentury-modern style with contemporary convenience. The sleek, 56-story tower, built in 1973 and one of the tallest buildings outside downtown Chicago, features 901 condominiums, ranging from compact studios to sprawling penthouses. Open-plan residences benefit from oversized windows with expansive views of Lake Michigan and the downtown skyline. In-building amenities like an Olympic-size pool, gourmet market, cinema, and other retail services help create a city-within-a-city atmosphere. Though the complex operates as a one-stop resource, bustling Wrigleyville is nearby and there are excellent transportation links to the Chicago Loop.

Park Place Tower offers a variety of condo sizes, from 550-square-foot studios priced around $136,000 to eight-bedroom penthouses selling for $1.8 Million. One- to two-bedroom units measure 760 to 1,500 square feet and typically sell for between $218,000 and $390,000. Most residences feature updated kitchens with granite countertops, cherry wood cabinets, and stainless-steel appliances. Hardwood floors extend from open plan living areas to bedrooms with plenty of closet storage and some even have walk-ins. Bathrooms are clad in Italian tile and outfitted with contemporary fixtures. Monthly HOA fees range from $400 to $1,000.
Outdoor living, comprehensive fitness and retail essentials

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
