Affordable senior living in the heart of Joliet
Fin-Nuala, a 5-story condominium complex completed in 1978, offers 79 units designed for residents aged 55 and over. Located across from St. Joseph Hospital in Joliet, this secure building provides a blend of comfort and convenience for its residents. The structure, while not architecturally remarkable, focuses on practicality and accessibility, catering to the needs of its senior occupants.
Cozy layouts with modern touches
Fin-Nuala offers a range of floor plans to suit different needs. One-bedroom units span from 680 to 850 square feet, featuring one bathroom and selling for $70,000 to $75,000. These compact spaces often include galley kitchens with ample cabinet and counter space, separate dining areas, and living rooms that open to courtyard views. Many units boast fresh paint, new flooring, and updated appliances.
For those requiring more space, two-bedroom units range from 740 to 1,300 square feet, also with one bathroom, and are priced between $80,000 and $93,000. These larger apartments frequently offer additional storage options, including walk-in closets and pantries. Some units have been modernized with quartz countertops, under-cabinet lighting, and stainless steel appliances.
All apartments feature large windows that flood the spaces with natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. Many units have been modified for accessible bathing, catering to the needs of the senior residents. Monthly HOA fees range from $100 to $200, covering water, parking, insurance, exterior maintenance, lawn care, and snow removal, providing a worry-free living experience for residents.
Practical amenities for comfortable living
Fin-Nuala prioritizes convenience and comfort with its selection of building amenities. The property features two elevators, ensuring easy access to all floors for residents. A common laundry room on the main floor eliminates the need for in-unit washers and dryers, while private storage closets on each floor provide additional space for residents' belongings.
The building's exterior community patio and outdoor seating area offer pleasant spots for relaxation and socializing. Inside, an interior social meeting area promotes a sense of community among residents. For those with vehicles, ample on-site and off-street parking is available, a rarity in many urban settings.
Security is a priority at Fin-Nuala, with 24-hour access control ensuring residents' safety. The building also provides postal services, adding to the convenience factor for its senior occupants. While pets are not allowed, this policy helps maintain a clean and allergen-free environment for all residents.
Convenient location with easy access to healthcare and amenities
Fin-Nuala's location in Joliet offers residents a blend of urban convenience and suburban tranquility. The condominium's proximity to St. Joseph Hospital is a significant advantage for seniors, providing easy access to medical care. This central location also puts residents within reach of various amenities and services.
For daily needs, several grocery options are available nearby. Tony's Fresh Market, a family-owned supermarket chain known for its meat, bakery, and deli departments, is just a 15-minute walk away. ALDI, offering budget-friendly grocery items, is about a mile from the complex. For those who prefer to drive, Jewel-Osco and Food4Less are both within a 2.5-mile radius, providing additional shopping options.
Dining choices in the area cater to various tastes and budgets. The Old Fashioned Pancake House, a local favorite for breakfast and comfort food, is within walking distance. For quick bites, Culver's and Wendy's are nearby, while those craving Mexican cuisine can visit Tony's Place or Tonto Burrito, both known for their affordable and tasty offerings.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to several parks. Marquette Park is about a mile away, perfect for a leisurely stroll. Inwood Park and Paul E. Briese Park, both highly rated, are within a short drive and offer amenities such as picnic areas, trails, and playgrounds.

For bargain hunters, stores like Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, and dd's DISCOUNTS are all within a short drive, providing budget-friendly shopping options.
Education, while perhaps not a primary concern for most residents, is still noteworthy. Joliet West High School, rated B+ by Niche, is within walking distance, potentially of interest to grandparents living in Fin-Nuala who may have grandchildren in the area.
Accessible public transit with convenient car access
Fin-Nuala's location offers a balance of public transportation options and car-friendly features. For those relying on public transit, the Oneida & Madison bus stop is just a 5-minute walk away, serviced by the West Joliet Loop.

For longer journeys or trips to Chicago, the Joliet Station is a 10-minute drive away. This Metra station serves both the Heritage Corridor Line and the Rock Island District Line, providing convenient access to the greater Chicago area.
While the area has some transit options, it's worth noting that having a car can significantly enhance mobility for residents. The building's ample parking facilities support this, making it easy for residents to keep a vehicle on-site.
For air travel, Chicago Midway International Airport is about a 50-minute drive away, offering domestic and international flight options. This proximity to a major airport can be beneficial for residents who travel or have family visiting from out of town.
The neighborhood's layout and infrastructure support some degree of walkability and bikeability, particularly for short trips to nearby amenities. However, for many errands and activities, especially considering the senior demographic of Fin-Nuala, personal vehicles or public transportation may be preferred options.
