170 Units As a second phase of the Museum Park Towers, this high-rise condominium gives Chicago home buyers more of what they're seeking. The 21-story residence is a newer construction with all the most sought-after upgrades and a hard-to-beat setting. The contemporary glass and concrete tower is located at 1335 S. Prairie Avenue, just a block from the Museum Campus and scenic lakefront. It was completed in 2003 and is a modern example of affordable luxury.

Museum Park Tower II has 170 units with two - and three-bedroom layouts. The floor plans are open, utilizing all space and natural light to the fullest. A wall of floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room lets in plenty of sun to brighten the main living area and a private balcony invites you outside to enjoy the view. The master bathrooms are tastefully finished with features like dual sinks, separate shower and soaking tub, and sleek tiling. And the second bathrooms are well-appointed, yet not over the top. The galley kitchens are slender but well-equipped, with half-wall granite bars overlooking the dining area. Full glass panel windows in the bedrooms afford a cheery environment and the taller ceiling heights make the rooms feel extra big. Some units have formal foyers and special amenities such as walk-in closets, built-ins, kitchen eating nooks and double ovens.

Two-bedroom units at Museum Park Tower II generally start in the $400,000 price range. Individual finishes and design upgrades can jump the price tag up greatly, though. The more expensive condos are enhanced with stainless steel kitchen appliances, marble bathrooms and other high-end luxuries. The three-bedroom arrangements are typically 1,800 - 2,000 square feet and generally hit the market at around $700,000. At the top price points are sprawling 2,700-square-foot residences for over a million dollars. These ultra-posh big city dwellings have tons of extras - multiple balconies, wine coolers, designer chef's kitchen, pantries, media rooms, steam showers, custom closets, crown moldings, pre-wired sound, and much more. The full amenity building also includes a beautiful rooftop pool and sundeck, plus an exercise center, 24-hour doorman, and garage parking.
