This single-floor amenity space is designed as a multifunctional lounge and recreation area, combining social, leisure, and casual gathering zones within an open, airy layout. The interior is characterized by high ceilings with exposed industrial ductwork and track lighting, light hardwood flooring throughout, and a vibrant color palette of sage green, sky blue, and crisp white that gives the space a modern, energetic feel. The main lounge area features black leather seating arranged around a minimalist white coffee table, complemented by a striking blue accent column housing a fireplace with a wall-mounted flat-screen TV above it. Vertical LED wall sconces add warm ambient lighting alongside the large roller-shaded windows, which frame views of the surrounding urban cityscape and fill the space with natural light. Adjacent to the lounge, a recreation zone includes a full-size pool table with a teal felt surface, while high-top tables and bar-height chairs provide casual seating for socializing or informal gatherings. The open corridor area, defined by bold blue structural columns, connects the zones seamlessly. A dedicated kitchen area features blue cabinetry, white countertops, a sink, stainless steel appliances including a beverage cooler, and a wall-mounted TV, making it well-equipped for entertaining and events.

The Loop serves as Chicago’s downtown district and is home to many of the city’s most famous landmarks: the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower), Buckingham Fountain, and City Hall, to name just a few. The skyline is dominated by skyscrapers representing well over a century’s worth of architectural designs and styles, from the earliest Victorian-era high-rises to ultra-modern glass towers and everything in between.
What’s it like to live in the Loop? The neighborhood is loaded with everyday attractions like the lakefront, which gives the neighborhood stunning waterfront views. The dining scene is incredible, with world-class food of every description readily available anywhere you look. The nightlife incorporates everything from dives and corner taverns to swanky nightclubs and cocktail bars. Renters pay a premium to live here, but they get to enjoy all the benefits of having the very best of Chicago right at their doorstep.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
