Fort Sheridan was originally developed as a US Army installation on 640 acres of prime Lake Michigan property in the late 1890s. Today the Fort Sheridan buildings have been painstakingly and lovingly restored to their original historic beauty. On the inside, however, these elegant structures have been totally renovated to reflect the modern needs of a non-military residential community. The result is condos, town homes, single family residences and even brownstone-like living where 11-20 foot ceilings are the rule, and eight foot windows give full view to the restored beauty of the Fort. The unique building configurations allow for spacious grounds for play, exercise, or a stroll through the beautiful grounds. Each living space is totally unique unto itself.
Amidst these historical restorations, new residential construction has also been meticulously developed to provide new single family, condo and town homes in a compatible architectural style that allows for total community cohesion and beauty. There is even a mid rise, state-of-the-art elevator condo building with its own pool and amenities.
The community of Fort Sheridan has truly become a historically significant residential way of life offering something for everyone. Every day here at Fort Sheridan, is a walk in the park!
