What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About West Ridge Chicago

close to metro. near bus stops. good grocery stores and parks nearby. my family and I love to go to a cafe near our house

There are 2 parks closer to where i live and so many kids in the area. There are some grocery stores nearby and dunkin donuts too

We used to have all sorts of restaurants. So many closed due to COVID. But some smaller, local ones are opening.

Diversity is the main thing in my neighborhood. Lots of world food , many restaurants and hotels are found.

Our property is always so humane, for the sake of the beauty of the community, it has been under construction, and we have always enjoyed the best service!

I like that right across from my home is a grocery store. These days it's only my husband and I so we really don't go anywhere near by.
