About 550 W Surf St #506

HomeHouses in Chicago 550 W Surf St #506, Chicago, IL 60657, USA

Property Status: Active Vintage charm, modern updates, in-unit laundry, central air, and an unbeatable East Lakeview location near the lake, transit, groceries, restaurants, and nightlife. Welcome to 550 W Surf St Unit 506, a beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath condo for rent in one of East Lakeview's most loved historic courtyard elevator buildings. This home gives you the best of both worlds: the character people love in classic Chicago buildings and the modern features renters actually want day to day. Inside, you'll find high ceilings, original pocket doors, custom-stained oak hardwood floors, traditional millwork, and large bay windows that fill the home with natural light. The living space feels open, comfortable, and easy to use, with room to relax, entertain, or work from home. A dedicated dining area gives you real separation from the living room, which is perfect for dinner, a desk setup, or hosting friends before heading out into the neighborhood. The updated kitchen is crisp and bright, featuring stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, 42-inch upper cabinets, generous storage, and a pantry/utility area with an in-unit front-loading washer and dryer. That means no hauling laundry downstairs and no waiting on machines. Both bedrooms are well-sized, making the layout practical for roommates, a guest room, or a home office. The primary bedroom features bay windows and city views, while the second bedroom offers strong flexibility for everyday living. The updated bathroom includes an extended vanity counter and added storage, helping keep the space clean and functional. You'll also appreciate central air, a Nest thermostat, professionally organized storage throughout the unit, and a private storage space in the building. The home is quiet and private, with no true sixth-floor unit directly above and only one shared partial kitchen wall. The location is the real advantage. Set in the landmarked Surf-Pine Grove Historic District, right where East Lakeview meets Lincoln Park, you are close to Broadway, Clark, Halsted, Diversey Harbor, the lakefront trail, parks, restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, bars, breweries, nightlife, Wrigley Field, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Mariano's, and public transportation. Commuting is simple with easy access to Lake Shore Drive, nearby bus routes including the 36, 22, and 151, and Brown Line access. Nearby rental parking options are also available. This is the kind of Lakeview rental that feels different from the usual apartment: updated where it matters, full of character, filled with natural light, and surrounded by everything that makes the neighborhood so easy to love. Schedule a showing and see why Unit 506 is the one renters will want to apply for quickly. Office Phone: (312) 929-8910 Copyright © 2026 Midwest Real Estate Data, LLC. All rights reserved.
