When initially developed, The Apartments of Wheaton Center was a $30 million development in downtown Wheaton that transformed the abandoned rail yards of the Chicago, Aurora & Elgin rail line into a new type of suburban residential environment. Defining the skyline of Wheaton, The Apartments of Wheaton Center embodied something entirely new and different: a combination of living features and amenities previously found only in the upscale downtown Chicago residential developments.
Then, much like now, Wheaton Center drew the majority of residents from the surrounding areas of Wheaton and Chicagoland. They may have been attracted to the property by the unique architecture of Dubin, Dubin & Moutoussamy, one of the most prominent architects of residential skyscrapers in the mid-20th century who became known for their buildings of grid facades and with a dense pattern of windows to celebrate the beautiful views. Their decision to create an environment that offered ‘something for everyone’ and a ‘walk-to-everything’ location was visionary.
Today’s residents are enjoying the benefits of their foresight, along with the 21st century updates that have been made as a result of an on-going multimillion dollar improvement program. The first phase of improvement program Tower One was vacated for complete renovation, inside and outside. Inside, granite and stainless steel kitchens and baths, along with wood floors, updated hardware, paint, and modern day finishes have attracted new residents and have likewise charmed current residents.

Whether one is a new or an existing resident, each values being able to choose among contemporary studios, one-, and two-bedroom apartment homes, each with at least one private balcony and some with as many as three balconies, all of which are completly new.
Under the direction of leasing director Valerie Lauper, the leasing team shows visitors their choice of 30 different floor plans. “It’s not the typical residential property. Not only are floor plans offered to meet every need, residents are able to enjoy a view that lets them wake up to the Chicago skyline, the surrounding forestry, or the charm of Wheaton’s downtown. We allow them to choose a setting that’s comfortable for their lifestyle; one that will make them happy to watch the sun rise or set, or a moon-filled evening sky.”
Residents enjoy the updated multi-media Club Room with flat screen TVs, a pool table, luxurious leather seating, and a coffee bar. They sip complimentary Starbucks coffee as they read their mail in the Internet Café. Life is good at Wheaton Center, and the property has been given a new name — The Apartments of Wheaton Center — to reflect all that’s new and improved.

Other property amenities include an indoor health club with his and her saunas, an aerobic studio with classes, a swimming pool, basketball court, tennis courts, children’s play area, four parking garages and ample outside parking as well. Resident outings and social events are part of The Apartments of Wheaton Center experience. It’s perfect for those who want care-free, comfortable living that allows them to take advantage of all that the prestigious western suburbs has to offer. Just across the street is the Wheaton Metra train station connecting them to downtown Chicago or to the scenic Geneva area to the west.
The 758-rental-unit development has two 20-story towers and four three-story buildings on 16 acres of landscaped grounds. Located at Carlton and Liberty, The Apartments of Wheaton Center is about 10 minutes north of the Naperville Road exit of I-88, just north of Roosevelt Road.
