1101 W. Columbia

Along this quiet tree-lined residential street, just a few steps apart, you'll find two vintage midrise, corridor apartment buildings. Each offers handsomely rehabbed rental homes, just minutes from the beautiful Loyola University campus and Lake Michigan's Pratt Beach and Hartigan Park & Beach; the latter complete with playground and lots of sand, perfect for BBQs and taking in downtown fireworks throughout the summer. Also nearby, an impressive mix of culture, recreation, shops and restaurants that rival any Chicago neighborhood. Among other things, you can take in a movie at the 400 Theaters, play around in a music store, browse a bookstore, go for golf lessons, dine out at a gastro pub or Korean grill, and get your yogurt fix. Whichever apartment you choose, you can look forward to a newly rehabbed residence with modern cabinets and built-in microwave, along with complementary Internet amenity. Add in the on-site laundry room and bike storage and this is going to be the start of a very nice apartment.
