       Condominiums are a popular choice for adults who want a simpler life after the children have grown and gone. Chicagoland’s North Shore residents have a new option with Skokie Gardens, an innovative condominium community located at 8828 Niles Center Road in Skokie’s fast-growing Dempster corridor.

       “People are attracted to Skokie Gardens because it offers comfortable living without yard work or major household repairs, which is important for people who travel during the winter months,” said Abdul Matin, the developer of Fortune Group. “The area is also great for pedestrians because of the growing number of businesses coming to the area and the convenient transportation options.”

       Skokie Gardens was designed to be ADA adaptable so mature adults have a home that can change with their lifestyle. No stairs will be built in any of the units or the common areas, and private balconies feature low-level thresholds. All hallways can easily be designed for easy maneuvering in a wheelchair or walker.

       Matin, president of Fortune Group Developers, spared no detail when designing Skokie Gardens. The building’s three-story atrium provides a dramatic entrance into Skokie Gardens’ 70 units. Residents will enjoy the nine-foot ceilings and spacious balconies that create a bright and airy living environment.

       Each master bathroom features wall-to-wall ceramic tile floors and a six-foot soaking tub. The cultured marble countertops and frameless shower doors create a classic design with modern appointments. Each unit also features their own full size washer and dryer.

       State of the art kitchens include Whirlpool microwave, range/oven, refrigerator and dishwasher and also feature ceramic tiles, granite countertops and 42” oak cabinets.

       All units feature two full bathrooms and range from two to three bedrooms with 1,400 to 1,900 square feet. The units start from $364,000 to $495,800.

       Approximately 30% of the units are available for purchase. The Skokie Gardens sales center, showing a model of a master bathroom and kitchen along with fixtures is open at 3901 W. Oakton, Skokie. The hours are Monday through Friday 9:00-5:00 and Saturday and Sunday 11:00-5:00. To arrange an appointment, call Gigi (847)-933-0800.
