Located at 331 North Ottawa Street in Joliet, Illinois, this efficiently designed one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit makes excellent use of its compact footprint. The open-concept main area seamlessly combines the living and sleeping spaces, with light wood-look flooring running throughout and large windows fitted with horizontal blinds that allow natural light to fill the room. The living area features a wall-mounted flat-screen television set against a wood-paneled accent wall, complemented by a sofa and a marble-top coffee table. The kitchen is thoughtfully outfitted with white shaker-style cabinetry, granite countertops, a subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances including a full-size refrigerator, and a double-basin sink — providing full cooking functionality within a streamlined galley layout. A small dining area sits adjacent to the kitchen. A built-in open shelving unit in the hallway offers convenient storage, while a decorative framed mirror adds visual depth to the transitional space. The bathroom is clean and modern, featuring a wood-toned vanity with granite countertop, an undermount sink, a large backlit mirror, and a tiled shower. The white block masonry walls visible in portions of the unit lend an industrial character to the otherwise contemporary interior design.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
