A few condos are for sale at 1212 N Lake Shore Drive in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood. Here’s a review of the building and condos I’ve previewed or shown (none are my listings) along with photos and details on the other condos for sale.

THE LOCATION

1212 N Lake Shore Drive is located between Division and Scott. Its Walk Score is currently 97 and its Transit Score is 88. It’s a 1/3 of a mile from the Red Line at Division & Clark. See its interactive Walk Score Map below.

THE BUILDING

1212 North Lake Shore Drive built in 1970 has 35 floors with 180 condos. There are 2 separate sets of elevators for the north and south ends of the building. When you exit an elevator there are only 3 units per floor. The building is staffed 24 hours with a door person. The building has parking, but it’s leased. Pets are ok.

One of the listing agents who lives in the building told me that the Olympic-size swimming pool on the 35th floor is the second largest in Chicago with the largest just down the street in the John Hancock Building.
