The Skokie real estate and Skokie condo market got a huge addition in 2006 with the Siena @ Old Orchard condo project developed by Lennar. This 6 story,110 unit complex is broken down into 2 buildings: 9360 and 9350 Skokie Boulevard.. Siena at Old Orchard is located a stones throw away from the Old Orchard Shopping center..
The building itself is an emposing sight when you are driving down Skokie Boulevard.. It is no where near as sharp and as cool looking as the Skokie Condos at the Optima Building, but not many buildings are. Several of these units were fairly overpriced by Skokie Real Estate standards when they first came on the market in 2006-2007.. $535,000 for a 3bedroom condo and $430,000 for a 2bed/2bath condo in Skokie...Cmon lets be serious..For those who paid that much back then, my condolences. Several of the other 2bed/2bath skokie condos were selling in the high 200ks- to mid 300ks in 2006-2007
I would have loved to see these skokie condos built in downtown Skokie, but that is just me.. One of he big knocks against these Skokie Condos is lack of ammenities.. There is No Gym or No Pool.. What kind of modern day condo building doesnt offer at least one of the two? If you are fortunate enough to be on the 6th floor and facing towards the city, you can see the city skyline from your window.
