About Optima Condominiums

There are new Skokie condos, and then there is Optima Old Orchard Woods. Few condominium communities in the greater metropolitan area can boast the sophistication of city views and the serenity of woodland. Few, if any, front a vast forest of oaks, elms and maples. Until now, none can claim the imprimatur of award-winning architect David Hovey and his esteemed colleagues. Bordering on the eastern edge of Harms Woods-hundreds of acres of indigenous forestland preserved against future development-Optima Old Orchard Woods Condominiums beckon you home.

Imagine living here, where a bike trail just steps from your door leads to the Chicago Botanic Garden and the exclusive North Shore. See yourself strolling daily through old growth trees and pristine meadows amidst wildlife and wildflowers. Know that in living here you are moments away from the Edens Expressway and arteries leading to every community in the Chicagoland area.


The Conveniences You Demand - Just Outside Your Door
Within the property itself, you will enjoy the swimming pool, sundeck, spa, fitness center, lofted party room and tennis court. Enjoy a swift commute to the arenas and nightlife of downtown Chicago, to the parkland, health clubs, restaurants, Old Orchard Shopping Center and other luxuries of the North Shore-including Highland Park's Ravinia Music Festival. Boaters will frequent the Skokie Lagoons, equestrians the stable down the road and riding trails nearby. Every amenity you deserve is here, just outside your door.
