Known as the Cinema Lofts, the units at 1635 W. Belmont were built in the 1920's before being converted to condos in 1997. Located in Chicago's lovely Lakeview neighborhood, this beautiful residential building features gleaming hardwood floors and beautiful balconies. The building was once home to the city's popular Belmont Theater as well as one of Chicago's most famous movie houses from the past, The Belmont. Featuring 192 units housed within its six floors, the high-rise's stunning ornate facade from its glorious past as a movie house still remains, making this building an architectural treasure.

Stroll down Lincoln Avenue, Clark Street or Belmont Avenue to take in the numerous bars and clubs when you feel like showing friends a great night out in Chicago. Live music is always close by thanks to 1635 W. Belmont's proximity to Chicago landmarks like Metro, Elbo Room and The Vic Theater. Visit the legendary Music Box Theater to catch a classic flick or take in a night of Windy City improv at IO Theater and Stage Left Theater.

As a previous resident, one of my personal favorite features was the walking distance to Des Plaines River Trail. I have personally biked the trail to the Wisconsin border and back and it is just over a 100-miles door to door. My wife loved how close she was to Rosemont shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. Close proximity to O’Hare and blue line. Just an overall great neighborhood.
