850 North Dewitt Place is a mid-century building that has been converted into comfortable condos. The 22-story tower has over 200 residences that offer a number of different floor plans and varying levels of modernization. Some units still reflect the building's original 1950s character, while others are fully remodeled to assimilate with today's new construction real estate. Standard condos at 850 N. Dewitt Place are one- and two-bedroom layouts, plus some studio apartments. There are a few combined unit listings that adjoin several regular-sized condos to create huge 3,750-square-foot dwellings. The sprawling abodes have three or four bedrooms, gigantic living areas, guest suites, high-end kitchens, spa-like baths, and other luxury faculties only found in Chicago's up-market homes.

The majority of units at 850 N. Dewitt Place are modest condos that have been well-maintained over the years. Updated kitchens offer a wide range of styles and appliance packages, from quaint traditional finishes to trendy top-of-the-line features. The bathrooms are the same way – some are totally renovated with a fresh “look” and others have vintage sinks with ‘50s-esque appointments. The bedrooms are typically carpeted and main living rooms have hardwood floors. Long window expanses run the length of the front room, bringing in natural light. Mirrored hall closet doors are a common element that makes the condos seem even bigger than they are.

Building amenities like storage lockers and a bike room are convenient to have and there's also an exercise facility onsite. The tower is served by two passenger elevators that ascend from the ground-level receiving area. A door person is on duty around the clock and there's valet parking available for the garage. The sundeck is a great spot to enjoy the view – 850 N. Dewitt Place is situated just a block from the lakefront and two blocks from the Magnificent Mile. It's surrounded with world-class shopping, including the famous Water Tower Place Mall and The Shops at 900 North Michigan. Other neighborhood highlights are the Museum of Contemporary Art (a block south of the condos) and the John Hancock Center (one block west).
