“The ammenities compared to other apartments in the area are not the greatest. This apartment complex in particular is near a hospital and a Jets Pizza. The hospital being so close, we hear all of the ambulances. The Jets attracts so many people to our block making it hard to enter the garage and the noise of the people is unpleasant.”

Family serenity defines this enclave circling Kadish Park's wooded trails. Renters prize 1950s brick apartments with original hardwood floors but contend with sporadic hot water in buildings using original boilers. Limited late-night dining beyond corner delis.

Lake Michigan views wow from high-rises near Bradford Beach. Renters enjoy rooftop pools but note $200+/month parking fees in most buildings. Summer crowds overwhelm North Avenue sidewalks, while icy lake winds challenge winter commutes.
