What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Fernwood Chicago

It seem like a historical neighborhood but I researched about it and the past about the area is not very welcoming towards blacks in a good way basically they were just over worked and wasn't paid enough for being overworked and still being called ''boy'' so it's no different from slavery and slave owners and what shame that is.

I like living in my neighborhood because the neighborhood is quiet. There are not many kids loitering around and everyone seems nice.

I like the fact that it's lots of restaurants in my area. I also like the fact that the transportation is very accessible!

I mainly go to work and come home the corner store and restaurants are near by the liquor store and a family dollars and dollar general also a Walmart

Very good for bikes. Decent places around. Great amount of gas stations for snacks. Has a great downtown area with a lot of things to do.

Its quiet most days and has had less noise .Its a small neighborhood where most people lnow each other.
