With 208 units, this high-rise offers residents a blend of urban convenience and suburban tranquility. The building's simple, rectangular shape and grid-like facade of windows reflect its mid-century origins, while its height provides residents with expansive views of the surrounding area. Situated in a diverse and bustling village, Cameo Towers provides comfortable and accessible living experiences for its residents.

Versatile layouts with panoramic views

Cameo Towers offers a variety of floor plans to suit different lifestyles and needs.

Many studios have been updated with modern finishes, including new carpeting and fresh paint. One-bedroom units, ranging from 675 to 900 square feet, are priced between $110,000 and $159,900. These apartments typically offer more generous living spaces and often include updated kitchens with white cabinets and newer appliances. Some units boast custom features like quartz countertops, tile backsplashes, and breakfast bars. The two-bedroom units, measuring 800 to 1,600 square feet, are available from $150,000 to $165,000. These larger apartments frequently feature open-concept layouts, connecting the kitchen to the living room for easy entertaining. Many two-bedroom units have been fully rehabbed, showcasing hardwood or luxury vinyl tile floors throughout, custom woodwork, and updated bathrooms with modern fixtures. Regardless of size, most units in Cameo Towers benefit from the building's height, offering residents impressive views of the surrounding area. Many apartments feature private balconies, perfect for enjoying sunset vistas or cityscape panoramas. Wall-to-wall windows are common, allowing ample natural light and enhancing the sense of space. Monthly HOA fees range from $300 to $600, covering a comprehensive list of amenities and services.

This culinary hotspot features a variety of dining options, from casual eateries to more upscale establishments. Notable mentions include Johnnie's Beef, a Chicago staple known for its Italian beef sandwiches, and Gringo & Blondie Taqueria, a casual Mexican restaurant offering delicious tacos and a selection of tequilas. For everyday needs, residents have easy access to a 24-hour Walgreens and several grocery options. Angelo Caputo's Fresh Markets, an Italian grocery store, is a neighborhood favorite for specialty items and fresh produce. Those seeking more extensive shopping can visit nearby retail centers like Harlem Irving Plaza, which houses over 100 stores including major retailers such as Kohl's, Best Buy, and Nordstrom Rack.

Well-connected with multiple transit options

Cameo Towers benefits from its strategic location, offering residents various transportation options for navigating both the local area and the greater Chicago region. The building's position makes it particularly convenient for those relying on public transit or preferring to walk or bike for daily errands. Public transportation is readily accessible, with several bus stops in close proximity to the building. The North Ave & Clinton Pl bus stop, served by the West North Avenue line, is less than a five-minute walk away. Similarly, the Harlem & North Ave stop, which connects to multiple bus lines including Harlem, North, and West North Avenue, is also within a short walking distance. These bus routes provide convenient access to various parts of the city and surrounding suburbs. For those needing to travel further, the Mont Clare Metra station is about a mile and a half away, or a quick 5-minute drive.

The area's walkability is a significant asset, with many daily necessities within easy reach on foot. Grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, and other essential services are all within comfortable walking distance, reducing the need for frequent car trips. While biking infrastructure may not be as developed as in some urban cores, the relatively flat terrain and quieter side streets make cycling a viable option for local trips and recreation. The proximity to parks and green spaces also provides opportunities for leisurely rides. For those who prefer to drive or need to travel beyond the reach of public transit, Cameo Towers' location offers easy access to major roadways.
