Fitness is easy at FFC South Loop and Orangetheory. The area is pet friendly with dog runs at Coliseum Park and nearby Fred Anderson Dog Park, and its arts/heritage show in Dearborn Station and the Printers Row Lit Fest. Recent Zillow Market Trends show a median asking rent around $2,600, with most homes ranging roughly $1,900–$3,800+.
