3 Apartments Steps Away from the L Train Stations

Welcome to the hassle-free, commuter-friendly lifestyle! Living in a city as “hustle-and-bustle” as Chicago, nothing beats the convenience of being steps away from public transportation. The L lines in Chicago are perfect for those seeking a stress-free commute and avoiding possible parking tickets! Picture this: stepping out your door and effortlessly hopping onto the L, whisking you to work or any city hotspot in minutes. PLUS—in the winter, a short walk to the L is a luxury for a commuter. Today, we’re highlighting three of our favorite apartments that are less than a 10-minute walk to different L lines. Say goodbye to parking stress and morning traffic and hello to an overall easier commute.

They also have in-unit laundry, no carpet, gas stoves, and subway tile backsplash. Are you bringing your pet along?

Other unique amenities include an outdoor lap pool, a music room, a library/reading nook, a sauna and wet lounge, and a full fitness center with spin bikes and a boxing simulator.
