CHICAGO, IL — With summer
in full swing, getting outside and basking in the beautiful weather is a
priority for most Chicagoans. While the city offers a plethora of opportunities
to enjoy the great outdoors, from popular rooftop bars to bustling beaches,
nothing beats having your own private outdoor oasis.
Following are four
communities for those who want their own space in the sun, whether they are
looking to buy or rent.
Lexington
Square 4 – Bridgeport
Offering a unique trifecta
of outdoor areas, including a rooftop deck, fenced-in front yard and a balcony
off the kitchen, rowhomes at Lexington Square 4 feature numerous ways to enjoy
and relax outside.
Located on Morgan Street,
south of West 37th Place, Lexington Square 4 is a community of 21 three-bedroom
rowhomes just west of U.S. Cellular Field.
“Typically, rowhomes in
the city may have one or two private outdoor spaces, but to have all three is
practically unheard of,” said Jeff
Benach, principal of Lexington Homes. “The rooftop decks showcase impressive
views of the downtown skyline providing the perfect setting for a summer party
with space for a grill and multiple seating areas. And on game nights, even
Cub’s fans are blown away by the direct views of the fireworks at U.S. Cellular
Field from these rooftops.”
Lexington Shore - Hyde Park – Kenwood Historic
District
Taking its popular rowhome
floor plans closer east to Lake Michigan, Lexington Homes will soon be breaking
ground on a gated community of 20 rowhomes at 4639 S. Lake Park Ave. in popular
Hyde Park/Kenwood, called Lexington Shore.
“What’s great about these
rowhomes is they offer private space for everyone in the family -- whether kids
or the dog want to play in the fenced-in yard, owners are enjoying coffee on
the kitchen balcony or there’s a book club gathering up on the roof deck,” said
Benach. “And if you are looking to relax, there’s nothing like going to your
own private roof deck to enjoy some fresh air and sunshine.”

Madison Aberdeen Place – West Loop
Renters want their own private
outdoor space, too, so the developers of Madison Aberdeen Place kicked it up a
notch by building private rooftop spaces, complete with furniture, for the
community’s two-bedroom penthouse units.
Each private penthouse rooftop space
includes a contemporary-style sofa and chairs situated around a large coffee
table, offering plenty of seating for guests to settle in and linger after
dinner.
“Michigan Avenue Real
Estate Group made sure no detail was overlooked when designing these penthouse
units, both inside and out,” said Aaron
Galvin, owner and managing broker of Luxury Living Chicago Realty, the
exclusive leasing brokerage for Madison Aberdeen Place.
Not only are the
rooftop decks outfitted with plush outdoor seating, saving residents money on
furniture, but they also provide sweeping skyline views that take alfresco
dining to a new level.”
Ravenswood
Terrace – Ravenswood
While some renters enjoy
rooftop decks with a view, others prefer their private outdoor space to be more
grounded. Luckily for residents at Ravenswood Terrace, a community of 150
luxury apartments in Chicago’s charming Ravenswood neighborhood, they can have
the best of both worlds. The new rental community offers a communal rooftop
terrace and sundeck with various seating areas, plus private outdoor spaces for
individual units, such as the 8-by-8 patios included with each first floor
apartment.

“Our patio units have been
very popular with renters who want a little bit more outdoor space than our
balcony units – in fact, the patios offer 24 square feet more space than the
balconies so renters can easily set up a table for four to six people on their
patio,” said Mark Durakovic,
principal of Kass Management Service, owner and property manager of Ravenswood
Terrace.
“Plus, the patio units
open onto the community’s lush 1-acre landscaped courtyard, which can easily
become an extension of a resident’s home. Even something like taking a dog for
a walk or simply tossing a Frisbee around becomes so much easier for renters
with patios.”
