What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About South Commons Chicago

Bars and restaurants bring in people from all diversity and communities to hang out together as one to hand out

I liked the building it self it just nice and cool to live it. Good place to be and all of that stuff.

I like that it is quiet and neighbors take care of one another. It is also nearby drugstores and everything is walkable

The restaurants are amazing. I live in a college town so the police are everywhere which makes me feel safe.

I like my neighborhood because it is around different schools and parks. Additionally, it is fairly close to restaurants and public transportation.

The unique thing about my place is its convinience because grocery stores are around. My favorite market is Jewel 5 min away from my place. I usually walk with my friend to the park.
