Rental showings at 8 E Randolph and 222 Columbus Dr.

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 23:57:06 +0000

I had a few showings at 8 E Randolph and 222 Columbus Dr, some one bedroom units and some 2 bedrooms units. My client likes both buildings and prefers with one unit. The rental price is ranging from $1, 685 to $1,875. But these prices are a lot lower than 2 years ago.

8 E Randolph is a new building, built in the heart of downtown, really central location, close to the train, the buses, the malls, the movie theaters and all the restaurants. The one bedroom units are very large, they are around 875 to 925 square feet depends on facing west or east. The kitchen all has granite counter tops, nice cabinets, washer and dryer in the unit, nice bathroom with granite floor, great closet spaces and a balcony…

222 Columbus has pedway underneath the building, cross the street from the big bean and the Millennium park, grocery store in the building, nice indoor lap pool, sundeck, grill and party room, basic cable is included in the rent, granite kitchen with lots of closets…

Both buildings are still have some studio to 2 bedrooms available.

This neighborhood has mixed age of buildings, the oldest one is 400 E Randolph, the outer drive east building which was built in 1963, the Buckingham was built in 1982, the Harbor Point was built in 1973, the Parkshore was built in 1991. Then there are all these new develop building started from Lancaster, to Aqua which has just been finished. So the cheapest one bedroom in this whole neighborhood is at the 400 E Randolph, which was listed for $155,900, you do have some view to the new lakeshore east park. So if you want to live in this neighborhood and do not have so much money to invest, here is not a bad choice.

One bedroom for rent at the 400 E Randolph just got contracted

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 14:13:55 +0000

So my client decided to pick the outer drive east building – 400 E Randolph, since this is a great central location, next to the new lakeshore east park, the grand park and the millennium park. Walking distance to the Michigan avenue and the lake front too. When summer comes, there are free concert at the millennium park almost every night, I saw lots of families, young gatherings are sitting on the grass, enjoying the nice music. At the new Lakeshore east park, in the summer, at the kid’s playground, there is water shooting out of the ground, so we call it a small water park. You would see kids running around sometimes young adult too in the hot summer days.

The 400 E Randolph building offers free shuttle service to a few downtown locations every half an hour, this is very convenient for people wants to do grocery shopping. Or just go to work or catch a bus on Michigan Ave. The building has just finished remodeling the gym and the swimming pool. Right now it has all the new equipments in the nice looking gym, the pool is even more spectacular, the lights on the doom are changing automatically in the evening, this is one of the scenery in the neighborhood. They have also added a kids’ play room, which helps a lot of the moms especially in the winter, when it is hard to go outside to play. The building committee has also decided to reduce the monthly assessment for the year of 2010, this is never heard of in all the other buildings, that means they have a strong reserve. The building also offers a restaurant on the 7th floor, called the Seven, it has great pizza and chicken wings. So if you do not want to cook dinner, you will have some choices there.

Cheapest studio at the 400 E Randolph

Mon, 06 Apr 2009 15:42:48 +0000

Right now there are a few studios for sale at the 400 E Randolph, the price is ranging between $170,000 to $350,000, what a big difference you would say, yes, the difference is more from the view, the cheapest one is facing the Lake shore East park and the most expensive one is facing the lake, the grand park and the millennium park. I am sure some of these units owners have bought the units many years ago and at that time, there is not such a big difference since there is nothing built in the north, just a golf course. But now we can see the prices have a big difference. That means views are very important in the city! Remember to consider this point for your next purchase, this is one of the many recommendations that I would like to give you as a Realtor live in this neighborhood!
