Optima Old Orchard Woods in Skokie

Urban living is not always for everyone. For some, due to preference or profession, city life isn’t the right option. The question is, can someone in this situation find a condo development that offers the same kind of luxury and amenities that are found in Chicago’s finest residences? The answer is a resounding ‘yes’ and one of the places to live that suburb-seeking home shoppers would do well to consider is the Optima Old Orchard Woods development. Located at 9645 Woods Drive in Skokie, IL, the property sits just across I-94 from the Old Orchard Shopping Center and just east of the Harms Woods Forest Preserve, which puts residents here in a premier spot to launch any sort of trip into the city or to other suburban destinations. This location also provides a combination of city views to the east and the serenity of nature to the west, giving those who live here their choice of environments to start or end their days.

Optima Old Orchard Woods Condos

Designed by award-winning architect David Hovey, the concept at Old Orchard Woods is size and luxury wrapped in an ultra-sleek, modern package. There are a large number of one-, two, three-, and four-bedroom floor plans available that range from just over 700 square feet to a whopping 3100 square feet. The homes are spread across three distinct but inter-connected towers the first of which, the Maple Tower, has already had its grand opening while the remaining two, the Oak and Elm Towers, are still under construction. No matter which floor plan is chosen, however, those living here will be in modern comfort and luxury. The amenities at Old Orchard Woods rival those found anywhere in Chicago’s luxury home market. Each residence has floor-to-ceiling views of the city or the forest, which, of course, means lots of natural light. Shoppers will find state-of-the-art baths and kitchens with stainless steel appliances, gas cooktops, granite counters, and designer cabinets. Window treatments, washers, and dryers are included, and an optional gas fireplace is available. The development itself features common amenities like a two-story fitness center with a pool and spa, as well as a two-story party room with catering kitchen. There is also an environmentally sensitive green-roof system and sky garden, a reflecting pool and fountain in a grand courtyard, and an exterior color scheme that is in harmony with the building’s natural surroundings. Heated indoor parking is also included with each unit.

The Old Orchard Woods is being brought to life by the Optima company, which has given the Chicago area many striking residential communities and commercial buildings over the last three decades. Optima strives to control and manage every aspect of the development, design, and construction of its projects to achieve total quality control. Some of their other residences are The Arbors in Highland Park, Coromandel in Deerfield, and Hedgerow in Winnetka. Each of their building has its own distinct personality and is designed to compliment its unique physical surroundings. Those interested in seeing if all this uniqueness is for them can contact The Sales Center, which is on-site at 9645 Woods Drive in Skokie.
