And the cotton is high: serious garden at Uptown’s Beacon Square condos

Summer’s over in the blink of an eye in Chicago, so make the most of it by making sure your new condo comes with plenty of green. Beacon Square, at 4716 N Beacon St, in Uptown, is a prime example. The building has a three-tiered front garden of flowers, shrubs and trees and a wide courtyard with more of the same. Facing the building from the street, you can make out little more than a swath of yellow brick behind all of that green. Two-bedroom condos at the development start in the $200s.
