If you have any experience at all in renting a Chicago apartment, you already know there’s a lot to consider. Price range and location are always big factors, of course. But for some renters, there’s just something special about living in a building that has plenty of old world charm and character. So if you’re planning to be in the market for an authentic vintage apartment in Chicago, here’s a closer look at just some of the desirable buildings you’ll find along Chicago’s scenic lakefront….
3400 N. Lake Shore
First constructed about a century ago, 3400 N Lake Shore still offers an impressive option for renters searching along scenic Lake Shore Drive. This 10-story vintage condo building makes space for around four-dozen units, along with garage parking and an exercise room.
3260 N. Lake Shore Drive
Another vintage property to consider is found at 3260 N Lake Shore Drive. The historic building provides bicycle storage and a pet-friendly environment. The large apartments, meanwhile, come with generous floor plans, updated kitchens and decorative fireplaces. Another advantage of 3260 N Lake Shore Drive is that the building only has two units per floor.
