222 N Genesee is a renovated apartment building right in the center of downtown Waukegan. The building has been updated throughout and offers modern 2-bedroom apartments with the kind of finishes you'd expect in newer, higher-priced housing.
Inside each home you'll find granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and full marble-look tile in the bathroom. Wood-look tile runs through the entire apartment, so there's no carpet anywhere. Every unit has its own washer and dryer, so no shared machines and no laundromat trips.
The building is built around security and simplicity. Entry is by secured keyed access, and there are CCTV cameras throughout the property. Each apartment comes with one off-street parking space included, and additional spaces are available to rent at the public garage on County Street. The apartments are all electric with no gas bill, and the landlord covers water and sewer, so residents only pay electric and internet.
The location is the real draw. You're directly across the street from the historic Genesee Theatre, with restaurants, cafes, and bars a short walk down Genesee Street. The Waukegan Public Library is a couple of blocks away, and the downtown Metra station is a short walk, with the Union Pacific North line running straight into downtown Chicago. Lake Michigan, the Waukegan harbor, and the municipal beach sit about a mile east.
Availability and pricing vary by unit. To see what's open or to schedule a showing, contact FAM Property MGMT LLC.
All lawful sources of income are accepted, including Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8). For voucher and subsidy holders, the income requirement is applied only to the portion of rent you are responsible for, not the full rent.
FAM Property MGMT LLC manages this property on behalf of the owner, who is a licensed real estate professional.
