I had some friends that shared an apartment next to the El when I was living in Chicago. Most have double-paned windows, I'm sure, but they're great for young people who want an affordable apartment. If you're a heavy sleeper that doesn't spend a lot of time at home (i.e., most kids just out of college), you can get a much cheaper apartment in a nice neighborhood than those just a block away. It's like a little affordable housing program.
