A studio apartment here would be a great initial investment for single people just getting into their careers looking for a place that is easy on the wallet and still ensures a safe, clean place to live. Many of these types of apartments are found closer to the Riverdale and Dolton areas, which are located near the trains and main highways. This makes commuting to other parts of the larger metropolitan area much easier, which is a huge plus for those who will need to be traveling for work.

The location of the studio apartments within the South Holland area is one of the greatest benefits for you. Here's why.

Safety and Peace of Mind

One of the biggest concerns of living as a single person in a studio apartment is safety and security. Don't be alarmed. South Holland is known to be a very safe town with a quiet and relaxed atmosphere. There's a reason that Forbes in 2007 called South Holland the "most livable metro-area suburb."

In fact, most places in town will be closed on Sundays. That's not to say that nothing is available. A quick drive to a neighboring area such as Riverdale or Dolton is easily manageable with a car or even with a city bus. Even transportation is a snap with the train system and the well-connected highway systems that run through the South Holland area.

The city has also taken precautions to uphold its wholesome environment by banning pornography of any kind, as well as banning the sale of alcohol. This leads to a much more family-friendly environment where you can have peace of mind and relaxation at the end of a busy work day.

Activities and Entertainment

While your first instinct to have some fun might be to get out of the city, South Holland has quite a bit to offer its residents. It has about 31 different parks to choose from, including the beautiful Calumet River. This river runs through the town and next to a golf course where you can go to play a few rounds to let loose.

The majority of activities in town revolve around the residents and helps foster a sense of community. There are church barbecues, youth organizations and many other numerous events throughout the year. The city also organizes events such as movies in the park, a town center marketplace to buy fresh produce and even a Pancake Day held by the local Lions Club.

Local Eateries

The local fare in South Holland involves much down-to-earth, home-style cooking from Blueberry Field Pancake House, Chinese Star Kitchen and Soul 2 Go. They're the perfect places to grab a bite after a walk with the dog or a jog along the river. While none of them are high-end dining by any means, they are moderately priced and popular with the locals -- perfect for singles and budget-minded people alike.

If you're looking for a place to put your bags down, South Holland is the sort of place you might just end up falling in love with and maybe even settling into!
