Location
This three bedroom apartment is at 520 Devonshire, Unit 15. Apartment is located in the Coventry Club Condominium Complex in the heart of Crystal Lake, Illinois, near all shopping, transportation, and conveniences. For those who know Crystal Lake, this is Coventry Club as you have never seen it. The Metra Commuter Rail is minutes away, as is the Randall Road mega-shopping area, as are toll-way entrances. Crystal Lake’s population is approximately 40,000. Crystal Lake is one hour from downtown Chicago, one of the world’s most dynamic and appealing cities.

Building
This Complex’s buildings are stately red brick, with huge white columns at the entrances. The landscaping is mature and well kept. This building is well sheltered from, but close to Crystal Lake’s main thoroughfare, Route 14. The complex is professionally managed, building doors are security locked, with intercoms to control entrances. All buildings have been newly decorated in 2006, with interior decorator help. Richly colored carpeting, wall paper, and paint make a dramatic look. Interior lobbies are beautiful, with dramatic staircases winding up to the second floors. This is a well maintained complex, and all residents must contribute through compliance with all association policies.

Club house and pool
All residents may freely use the club house, exercise room, and small swimming pool. Guests of residents are welcome for a small fee.
