Cheap Chicago Condos

"I'll have to call you back," Condo Specialist and REALTOR Julie Evensen told the blog editor. "I'm with a client, writing a contract already!"

We were contacting Julie to get some routine information about the grand re-opening at The Salem Condominiums for a posting on this blog, but got stopped short when she said she was in the process of selling one of the condos. No problem, Julie, take your time!

When we were able to talk with her a short time later, the enthusiasm in her voice about the new property was evident. With the official start of open houses still a day away, she was already showing people around and making a sale.

"These condos are such a good deal," she says about the limited number of 1-bedroom units available at only $99,900. "There's nothing close to this price in the area. The building is really well kept and the units have hardwood floors and all new windows. It's within a few blocks of the library, the Metra train and Pace bus, located in a neighborhood of single family homes near downtown Arlington Heights."

Also available at The Salem, at very reasonable additional cost, are nicely upgraded 1-bedroom condos and a deluxe 1-bedroom unit that Julie says "has all the bells and whistles, with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and more."  There's also one final 2-bedroom condo still available.

"The quality of upgrades is fabulous," explains Julie. "This is a really high-quality builder who uses a lot of ceramic tile and porcelain fixtures, not the typical generic products from the home center stores."

The Salem Condominiums, at 202 N. Salem Avenue in Arlington Heights, are now open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday through Friday and at other times/days by appointment. Contact Julie directly for more information or to schedule an appointment at 847-361-1353.
