"near UIC"? ;)

I suppose. I'm down with "Near Pilsen" and "Near Little Village." Maybe I just think "near UIC" will make people think of somewhere within easy walking distance of Halsted. But I'm not super up on exactly how much UIC sprawls west. So, okay. :)

Makes sense. Thanks.

I'd think it would be a pretty easy commute to many locations by bike or the #60 bus or the pink line, among other options.

I should have just said "thanks for the bump" :-)

I did have someone the other day ask if it was near Halsted (right after asking if it was in Evanston) and my response was (as politely as I could muster)  to look at a map and call me back ..... to be fair "near UIC" comes across a little differently than "near UIC/Pilsen/Little Village", which is what the ad says.  I know you live around here (a bit father from UIC than the unit in question) but you may not realize, not being in the business of renting apartments, that this area is a preferred place for UIC (and IIT and Art Institute and columbia etc.)  students to look. Not only because of location but value as well.
