The apartment will be delivered with a brand-new stainless steel appliance package installed prior to move-in.

Nearby schools include O'Keeffe Elementary School and South Shore International College Prep. CHA and Section 8 voucher holders are enthusiastically welcomed. Minimum credit score requirement is 600, income should generally be at least 2.5 times the monthly rent, and lease protection insurance and renter's insurance are required. Apartments offering included utilities, gated entry, a separate dining room, affordable parking, excellent transportation access, and immediate availability are hard to find in South Shore, so schedule your showing today. |
