    Frequently Asked Questions

    Connecting with a local Chicago apartment expert is the best & fastest way to find apartments in Chicago. You'll get access to all the current rent specials in Chicago, get a custom list of recommended buildings (some of which you might not even know about), and sign your next lease with confidence.
    Apartment policies regarding AirBnB change frequently, so for the most accurate list, we recommend reaching out to one of our Locators for the most up-to-date information.
    It is best to start looking for apartments in Chicago 10 weeks before your move-in date. 10 weeks will allow you to see all of the inventory available, and also give you plenty of time to tour units and consider your options.
    Apartment listing websites can be great for preliminary research, but working with a Locator allows you to ask questions, get personalized suggestions, find buildings you might not have found on your own, find the best rent discounts, and ultimately sign a lease in a place that you love with zero stress and absolute confidence.

    The building is owned by a larger property management company that owns MANY other buildings in the neighborhood. It can therefore be difficult to feel like staff are responsive to your personal requests/needs, and often good suggested improvements are shot down because of all the red tape required for any new changes. However, the staff that work in the building are wonderful and bring that personal smile and assistance to the place. They are also very responsive to maintenance requests, etc.
    What did you like most?
    The location is ideal for accessing transit to downtown. The facilities are nice, with granite countertops in the kitchen and bathroom that actually match each other. Views on the north and east sides of the building can be seen from most floors and reach the lake and/or downtown skyline.
    What did you like least?
    Walls are thin, meaning sound from the hallways/neighboring rooms can travel easily. The property management company was not very receptive to resident suggestions for improvement.
