About 21 Stafford Ave
Sweet deal!
This listing is 17% below the median price for 2 bedroom apartments in South Side.
Property Status: Active Most searches don't start with a price. They start with a sense that life could be a little quieter. That the place you come back to each day should ask less of you. And without planning it, you begin noticing homes that feel steady rather than temporary. For clarity: this is a second-floor apartment with two bedrooms and one bath, offered at $975 per month. Tenant pays electric and garbage. Water and sewer are covered by the landlord. The terms are simple and balanced, designed to stay out of the way of daily life. As you read this, imagine climbing just one flight and leaving the street behind. The hardwood floors carry a quiet confidence, holding the space together without effort. You might find yourself noticing how sound softens here, how the rooms feel composed instead of busy. The layout doesn't rush you. It settles you. The South Side neighborhood adds to that calm. Residential. Familiar. The kind of place where evenings arrive gently. Go ahead and picture opening the windows, letting the day move out, and stepping into the shared backyard when you want a little air without leaving home.There's strength in the simplicity. Warmth in the materials. Stability in knowing the essentials are handled and the price leaves room to breathe. Nothing here is trying to impress. It doesn't need to. Before you scroll past, let the image finish forming. A quiet second-floor home. Hardwood underfoot. A neighborhood that stays itself. A place that feels grounded the moment you enter. And when that recognition arrives, the next step usually feels natural--reaching out, asking a question, scheduling a showing. Not from urgency, but from alignment, because some spaces make sense as soon as you stop searching and start noticing.
