I'm on my third winter now in a Chicago garden unit, and it's really not that bad. The extra space, dishwasher, and backyard my place offers makes up for the lack of view.

That said, there are a couple safety issues to beware with these units. Make sure each bedroom has an operable window you can climb out of in the event of an emergency. It's a good idea to have security bars on your windows, but they should be unlockable and the key should be stored right next to the window (but not visible from outside!).


Smaller Unit with View VS. Larger Garden Unit?
