The apartment sits on a block that is currently being revitalized in Woodlawn, a Southside gem of Chicago. Nestled against Lake Michigan to the east and Hyde Park to the north, Woodlawn is home of the University of Chicago and future home of the President Obama Library in Jackson Park. Full of culture and life, Woodlawn is on the brink of change as there are many new constructs and rehabs happening around the area. There's said to be a revitalization coming to the housing tenement that is two blocks west of this property.
This urban, homey retreat is the perfect location because of its relative location to everything. A short car ride to most places worth going to. Woodlawn has a vibrancy and richness that makes one feel at home. This is the true, authentic Chicago. The residents are still neighborly and kind but this is NOT the "plush", high-end part of Chicago—we are not in the Gold Coast or Lincoln Park—it's up & coming, no doubt.
This is the true definition of the inner-city, where children still play on the sidewalks and run through water hoses in the summer. With its proximity to the University of Chicago and Hyde Park to the north, Lake Michigan to the east, and only 16 minutes from downtown, Woodlawn is approaching a grand revival. We are Woodlawn strong!
Please note: You will hear street noise at all times of night sometimes. You will hear people riding down the street with loud music...neighbors laughing and loud-talking. If that bothers you...please do not book here.
