Historic Blue Island Stay Near Metra & the Cal-Sag Canal

Stay close to Chicago while enjoying the character and slower pace of historic Blue Island. This private second-floor, one-bedroom apartment puts you near the Cal-Sag Canal, local parks, downtown Blue Island, and the Vermont Street Metra Station for convenient train access into Chicago. Please note that the apartment is located upstairs and requires climbing stairs to access the entrance.

A Private Space to Settle In

The apartment has its own separate exterior entrance, accessed by stairs, and offers a comfortable home base whether you're visiting the Chicago area for work, exploring the city, or simply looking for a change of scenery.

Inside, you'll find one bedroom, a full bathroom with a tub/shower combination, and a comfortable living area with a futon/daybed and pull-out trundle. A wall A/C unit helps keep the space comfortable during warmer months.

Outdoor Space Made for Relaxing

One of the best parts of this stay is the outdoor space. Step outside to the private balcony with a high-top bistro set, or head downstairs to enjoy the screened-in entertainment area with plenty of seating, a ceiling fan, projector and screen for movie nights.

The backyard also includes a picnic table and dedicated grilling area, giving you room to enjoy a meal outside or relax after a day exploring Blue Island and Chicago.

Explore Blue Island & Chicago

The location makes it easy to experience both. The Vermont Street Metra Station is nearby for trips into Chicago, while Blue Island offers its own historic areas, local restaurants, parks, and waterfront scenery along the Cal-Sag Canal.

Take a walk through the area, explore historic Olde Western Avenue, or spend some time near the canal before heading back to your private retreat.
