Ellison
1555 Ellinwood St, Des Plaines, Chicago 60016
Ellison is a newer Des Plaines building that leans hard into shared spaces, and it has real range to it: a plunge pool up on the rooftop deck, a fitness and wellness center, a work-from-home suite, and even a pet spa, plus a clubroom with billiards, fireside seating, and an entertaining kitchen. The apartments themselves feel current, with quartz counters, white shaker cabinets, stainless appliances, and in-unit washer and dryer. You are a three-minute walk from coffee at Brew Coffee Lab, with Miner Street Tavern and the Bourbon 'N Brass Speakeasy nearby for nights out and James Paroubek Park about seven minutes away when you want green space. Worth knowing going in: there is no CTA train stop or big-name grocery store within easy walking distance, though the building sits close to the Metra if you commute downtown.
