Our daily newspaper, the Chicago Sun Times recently reported that our neighborhood was voted the best place to trick or treat based on the safety and the family atmosphere of our area.  This is what they had to say.

The best neighborhood for trick-or-treating in Chicago? Bridgeport, says a real estate web site that says it factored in where a kid's likely to get "the most candy, with the least walking and minimal safety risks."

 Bridgeport gets props from Zillow as "really a family neighborhood."

529 W. 37th Street Chicago IL 60609.    This is not our address, but it is very close.   Scam artists steal details like these and create their own online ads on free sites, so we can't list our address for security reasons.   The exact address will be provided to guests when they book their rental.

The map is at street level, so please zoom it out a level or two and
scroll north or click the up arrow for north to see where we are at relative to downtown and McCormick Place. McCormick Place is located at Cermak Road (22nd St) and Lake Shore Drive which is 2.8 miles northeast of our rental.

sirens and street noise all night long here.   This is a quiet and safe neighborhood.

We offer shorter rentals than our minimum at the last minute or if that is what we have available between other rentals.   Shorter rentals are usually priced higher to cover our fixed cleaning and paperwork costs unless we offer a last minute special.

Please inquire with your dates and we will respond with our best rate quote for your stay. 

Street parking is very easy 90% of the time, but can be tight during games for the 80 or so games when the White Sox are in town.  

Baseball fans will love that we are a 5 minute walk to U.S. Cellular Field, home of the Chicago White Sox.   For Cubs fans, the train run directly between both ballparks.
