2600 Oakton Street, Unit 1EPark Ridge, IL 60068Price: $219,900

Great opportunity to get into Park Ridge before school starts with this two-bedroom, one-bath condo just one block from the UP-NW Metra line. This ground-floor corner unit is very private, and because the building is concrete, you won't hear any noise from upstairs neighbors. The layout opens into an open-concept living room and kitchen, featuring an island, stainless steel appliances, and quality cabinetry. Both bedrooms are generously sized with large closets, and they are conveniently separated by the full bathroom. The unit features central heating and cooling, and the monthly assessment covers your heating fuel in the winter. Also included are two assigned exterior parking spaces, a storage unit inside the second-floor common laundry room, and access to a bike storage room. Rentals are allowed in this complex, and because the current property taxes do not include a homeowner exemption, they could be lower for an owner-occupant. Location perks include the top-rated Park Ridge school district, being just one block from the Metra, and sitting right next door to the new Oakton Sports Complex, which includes a driving range, ice skating rink, walking track, and more.
