These Chicago apartments offer state-of-the-art gyms and fitness centers or they're apartments that give renters a great location in neighborhoods full of walking paths, running trails and cycling routes. Because in the age of COVID-19, one thing that's never closed is the great outdoors.

South Loop Apartments Balance Two of Chicago's Waterfront Walking Paths
The lakefront is one of Chicago's most well-known destinations for scenic walks and many renters will use it for runs or bike rides. But not every apartment renter knows about the waterfront paths that are the pride and joy of the South Loop. These are found on the South Branch of the Chicago River, specifically at Ping Tom Memorial Park. The South Loop apartments at 1401 South State balance these two wonderful waterfront destinations with an ideal location in the neighborhood, but there's always the modern fitness center within the apartment building in case renters feel like getting a workout in without stepping outside.

Bucktown Apartments Work Harder to Accommodate New Norms for Renters
1635 West Cortland Apartments
While many renters are understandably focused on the whole work-from-home set up these days, this Bucktown apartment building does a couple of things to help settle renters into their new digs.

Having a dog at home kind of bakes in an excuse to get outside in the first place, and living so close to one of the city's most popular outdoor destinations makes it a double score in that regard.
