Why It Worked: The builder/developer, a local firm, is known for putting up quality buildings in great locations. These two mid-rise buildings are a short walk from rail connections and a five-minute drive from the tollway.

  • Seven floor plans offer buyers numerous options, including one-, room units that range in size from 1,048 to 1,834 square feet.
  • Little touches that make a difference include polished brass door levers, wood-cased windows and patio doors, and extra-wide balcony doors.
  • The popular Kensing-ton floor plan features an eat-in kitchen, a 13-by-6-foot balcony, and a laundry/utility room tucked just off the entry.
