We are right between two CTA Blue Line Stops
The Division Blue Line Stop is about a 12-minute walk directly north on N. Ashland & W. Division and the Chicago Blue Line Stop is about the same distance straight east of us at W. Chicago & N. Milwaukee Avenues. So depending on which direction you are planning to travel, it would be a short walk with things to discover along the way!
You can also catch either bus route from the corner of Ashland and Chicago Avenue to transfer to the train too!
