Relax by the creek listening to the flowing water or take a dip in it on a hot day! The property is surrounded by large mature trees and has a big open field in the middle and a creek running through it. There is a large firepit with adirondack chairs for bonfires. The firepit is closer to the house but still fairly private as it is situated in front of the unoccupied walk-out basement. If requested I can provide a firepit table and a charcoal grill that you can keep closer to your spot. There is also a deck off to the side, closer to the parking spot, with a table and 5 chairs. 

Lots of wildlife comes through- deer, beautiful birds of all kinds, hawks, owls, frogs, squirrels, chipmunks, fox and more! I keep my grass short and try my best to keep up with the weeds, but I do not use any chemicals or fertilizers whatsoever.

There are quite a few forest preserves and trails nearby for hiking or biking. Driving through the neighborhood you might see horses, chickens, and a peacock. This property feels like you are in the middle of the woods but if you drive 5 minutes to Randall Rd. there is pretty much any restaurant or store you could ever want.

Pets are welcome. The property is not fenced so pets will need to be leashed or well-trained not to run off onto the neighbor's properties. I have a mini-pig who lives indoors but loves to spend nice days outside in her fenced area by the barn. If you see her outside feel free to say hi or let me know if you'd like to meet her and I can try to make sure she gets out there.

I have a very large driveway with a large spot on the side that is perfect for an RV/camper. Right in front of this parking spot is the entrance to the beautiful backyard. It really is a gorgeous slice of nature that I am excited to share with other nature-lovers.

Located in the Miller Beach section of Gary Indiana three and a half blocks from lakefront and Beach 1 and 1/2 blocks from bars restaurants and transportation to South Shoreline that takes you into Chicago in 40 minutes.

Huge space with hookup

The parking location is a (locked) fenced-in and gated 16' x 10' gravel parking pad off the alley of a residential building in Chicago. The location, near the Belmont and Kimball intersection, is just mere feet away from the on and off ramps for 90/94 and within two blocks of the Belmont Blue Line CTA station. The map on the Vanly profile page is incorrect for some reason -- the property is at the intersection of Belmont and St. Louis avenues.

Due to the location and fact that Chicago garages and private parking areas are off of narrow alleyways, please be careful when navigating to the location. The very max length of a vehicle that will safely fit is right around 16 feet long. No amenities are included, however there is an Xsport gym three blocks away and two Planet Fitness locations within a couple of miles. There are security cameras around the property to monitor for any suspicious activity. 

Secure parking pad near public transit in Chicago

Safe and quiet neighborhood nearby a busy street and many businesses like gas stations and restaurants.
