About the community
An attainable full-amenity lakefront high-rise in Edgewater.
Granville Beach is a 29-story condominium high-rise at 6171 N Sheridan Road, on the southeast corner of Granville and Sheridan in Edgewater, one block from Lake Michigan and Berger Park. Completed in 1971, the building holds roughly 312 residential units, a mix of studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms, plus a handful of larger combined homes. It is a staffed, doorman building with lake and skyline views, and it is one of the more accessible ways to own in a full-amenity lakefront tower on the far north side, a short walk from the Granville Red Line and Loyola University.

What it’s actually like to live here
Granville Beach is built for buyers who want a staffed, amenity-rich lakefront high-rise without downtown pricing. You are one block from Lake Michigan and Berger Park, a couple of minutes from the Granville Red Line, and within an easy walk of Loyola's campus, the Clark and Broadway retail corridors, and the beaches that define this stretch of Edgewater. The typical buyer is a first-time owner, a downsizer, or an investor drawn to lake and skyline views and true walkability at an accessible entry point.
Day to day, the building lives like a classic full-service Sheridan Road tower. A staffed lobby, on-site management, a fitness room, a sundeck, and a community room cover the essentials, and the location does the rest: 24-hour transit at the door, the lakefront a block away, and neighborhood dining and groceries within a short walk. For anyone who prioritizes the lake and the commute over square footage, the value proposition is straightforward.
The honest tradeoffs are those of a large 1971 building. At more than 300 units and over fifty years old, Granville Beach depends on the discipline of its association, so review recent board minutes, the reserve study, and any special-assessment history before buying. Monthly assessments are a meaningful part of the carrying cost and rise steeply for larger units, and Cook County taxes are separate on top of that. Confirm exactly what the assessment covers (water and building services are included, but verify heat and cable), check the parking arrangement since spaces in vintage buildings are often leased rather than deeded, and confirm the owner-occupancy mix if financing or rental rules matter to you.
The questions buyers actually ask
Granville Beach FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Granville Beach. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Monthly assessments at Granville Beach vary widely by unit size, from smaller studios and one-bedrooms at the low end up to the largest combined units at the high end. They generally cover water, the door staff and building security, common-area and exterior maintenance, grounds care, and cable or TV service. Whether heat is bundled is not confirmed in public sources, so confirm the exact assessment and the full inclusion list for any specific unit with the association. Cook County property taxes are billed separately per unit and are not part of the assessment. Parking terms should also be confirmed per unit.
- What's the typical closing timeline?
- 45 to 90 days from accepted offer to keys. Cash deals can close in two weeks. Conventional financing is usually closer to 90.
- Where exactly is Granville Beach and is it a condo or a co-op?
- It is a condominium building at 6171 N Sheridan Road, on the southeast corner of Granville and Sheridan in Edgewater, one block from Lake Michigan. It is a condo, not a co-op. Note that it is a separate building from Granville Tower nearby.
- How old is the building and how big is it?
- It was completed in 1971 and rises 29 stories with roughly 312 residential units, a mix of studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms plus a few larger combined homes. It is a staffed building with 24-hour door service.
- What do units cost and how is the market right now?
- Pricing and market activity change constantly, so this page shows live MLS figures in the Market snapshot above rather than a fixed number. Check those tiles for current listings, recent sales, and pace at Granville Beach.
- What do the monthly assessments cover?
- Assessments generally cover water, the door staff and building security, common-area and exterior maintenance, grounds care, and cable or TV. Whether heat is bundled is not confirmed publicly, so verify the full inclusion list and the exact amount for your specific unit with the association. Cook County property taxes are billed separately.
- Is there parking?
- On-site garage parking is reported, but the terms (deeded, leased, rented monthly, or waitlisted) are not confirmed from public data. Confirm parking availability and cost for any specific unit with the association or listing agent.
- What are property taxes like?
- Expect a Cook County effective rate broadly in the range of roughly 1.6 to 2.0 percent of market value, though condo rates and reassessments vary. Confirm the exact figure for a specific unit by PIN with the Cook County Assessor and Treasurer, and make sure the homeowner exemption is in place.

Your local agent
Joe knows Granville Beach
Most agents will list anything. I focus on the places I actually know, and the things that move value here don't show up in the MLS write-up: which streets and buildings hold demand, what the HOA or assessments really cover, how the comps read once you account for condition and location, and where buyers consistently want to be.
When you're ready to tour or list, you want someone who has read the last 50 closed comps in this specific market, not a national average, and can tell you what they actually mean for your price. That's how I work. Text or call any time, and I'll give you a real take, not a brochure.
