Lake Park Crescent boasts great location Development convenient for work and fun
Imagine how you might feel at, say, 5 p.m. on a weeknight. Your workday in the Loop or near downtown has been a long one. No doubt about it. It's time to go home to unwind. After dinner, you might consider an outdoor stroll along the waterfront or maybe a bike ride before sundown. You've earned it. This is your hard day's night. Your home is ten minutes away.
Just think: some of your colleagues will have to commute for more than an hour in a stuffy Metra train to the get to their homes in the suburbs. Not you. Your home is also located in a nice, quiet, upscale bedroom community, but it's a short drive or picturesque bike ride to the south. Your home at Lake Park Crescent is just steps from Lake Michigan, which gives new meaning to the phrase: "I'll be home in time for dinner."
"You cannot ask for a better location," said a delighted Robbi Davis, sales manager of Lake Park Crescent. "We're really excited, and we've already had people move in."
"How could you ask for more?"
Now 50 percent sold, Lake Park Crescent, developed by Draper and Kramer, is nestled along the lakefront near Hyde Park in the North Kenwood-Oakland neighborhood, in a time-honored area of Chicago that is rewriting history into the millennium.
With the latest in all-masonry architectural finishes and a commitment to cutting-edge, trendy elegance, Lake Park Crescent offers one, two and three bedroom residences, some of which are available for immediate occupancy, all located in a central park signature setting. Prices for a one-bedroom simplex begin in the $190,000s, with four-bedroom row homes beginning in the low $700,000s. All pricing comes with attractive financial incentives, resulting in substantial savings at closing.
The menu of choices also includes penthouses, with their own private expansive decks, with a million dollar view for a fraction of the price. Rowhomes are available for occupancy this month, and several duplex penthouses will be ready in time for fall, with unbelievable views for resident buyers, who can look forward to the fall colors while relaxing on top of their private roof terraces.
"You can see all the way down to the city and along the lake front," Davis said. "Buyers constantly keep saying, 'Oh my gosh, the view is just so breathtaking'."
"They just cannot believe the view and all of the landmarks they are seeing."
Some of those landmarks include the Sears Tower, of course. And Lake Michigan ... beautiful, blue water with sailboats and wildlife suitable for the most expert birdwatcher. The sunrise too, renders all speechless.
What's more, Lake Park Crescent is within close proximity to those landmarks, such as Soldier Field and the Field Museum of Natural History. Think of that: stopping into a museum on your way home from work or in the quiet of the morning on a weekend, before the crowds begin to peak.
If you did choose to drive to environs elsewhere beyond the North Kenwood-Oakland neighborhood, don't worry about parking. You could look forward to easy parking at your home in either your indoor garage or at your dedicated parking space outdoors.
"One bedrooms, for example, come with a tandem parking space, with also an indoor garage, which is extremely rare for developments of this kind, especially since all of this is included in the price," Davis said. "Price-point wise, Lake Park Crescent is a fantastic value."
"It's a real nice mix since we have people coming from the suburbs relocating to the area, and young working professionals who enjoy the short commute to their places of business nearby."
Additionally, Lake Park Crescent is also a great investment for first-time homebuyers because Draper and Kramer is offering buy-down programs with its mortgage department. Add to this the very attractive incentives for the entire inventory, with thousands of dollars being returned to the buyer to help cover the closing costs.
