STR in Windsor Park, Chicago?

[Shannon Ilas]

I'm in Chicago visiting my daughter, who lives in Windsor Park. There's only one hotel nearby, and every time I go it's full of families/parents visiting their college kids. When I looked for an Airbnb there weren't many close by or in a good location. It's got me wondering if it's a good area for STR and why there aren't any. The area I'm looking at is walking distance to the subway (blue line), near restaurants, etc. no parking but the apartment would have one space. I had thought of purchasing an apartment for a long term rental, but wondering how to determine if an STR would work better.
