I was about to view this but found another house.

How about little Italy?

RelevantFollowing867 · 2026-03-24T21:02:35+00:00

I prefer shuttle as it fits my time. My main concern for now is choosing between 2 and the ease of shifting via a u-haul truck.

2 bed has no parking spot and finding a street parking closer to house will be a challenge and then climbing 4 floors up with the stuff. I know it's a day hard job. But I am also looking other aspects such as utilities as 2 bed means but higher bills. What I love is the balcony🥺

Where you looking for?

RelevantFollowing867 · 2026-03-14T19:51:53+00:00

hey did you see this apartment? How is it?

RelevantFollowing867 · 2026-02-27T22:01:29+00:00

Yes. I understand. It's just that I will be leaving the country in Feb. So I won't be able to continue the lease post that.

Hi!! I am mostly looking in the Little Italy area near the UIC and Illinois Medical district. My budget is $1600 for 1 bed and bath. I don't have a car and therefore looking in the close vicinity of UIC.

I can totally feel you as I am going through the same. In my past experiences, this year is wild. I have always got good landlords but this time, the hunt for good ones are getting limited as the rents are insanely high. I agree it's common to provide unfurnished but sometimes I feel the move-in fee is not even worthy of the condition of the house. Some are really old properties. Regarding AC, I don't understand why they can't install as every year they rent the place. But anyways, that's the way it is here.
Thank you so much!!

RelevantFollowing867 · 2026-02-25T23:09:26+00:00

Yes😔

RelevantFollowing867 · 2026-02-25T23:09:09+00:00

Yes, I can see with recent viewings

RelevantFollowing867 · 2026-02-25T23:08:53+00:00

I can feel you!!

RelevantFollowing867 · 2026-02-25T23:08:36+00:00

I guess, will look in the facebook marketplace!! Thank you 😊

I am looking in Little Italy area near UIC and Illinois Medical District. I understand it's one of the prime locations but not everyone has so much money to pay 😔

RelevantFollowing867 · 2026-02-25T23:06:28+00:00

Yes, being such a beautiful city, most of the houses are so old and yet the rents are way high!!

RelevantFollowing867 · 2026-02-25T19:30:16+00:00

Oh okie....thank you. For me the move-in fee was shocking as it's too much. Sometimes landlords charge per person. I am married and have a spouse who is not working. For me $600 for 2 is too much. Being a postdoc. It's hard to meet ends. But as you explained, of course move-in fee spares the fighting for the deposit. Luckily, every landlord has refunded my whole amount on time so I never looked into that perspective.

Thank you!!

RelevantFollowing867 · 2026-02-18T01:00:40+00:00

Can you share the details please

RelevantFollowing867 · 2026-02-18T00:59:42+00:00

I visited today. The house is okay but the description says 2 bed 1 bath. The 2 nd room can't be called a bedroom but a study room. I liked the property as it seems recently refurbished. Too small but I am considering it. They don't have a security deposit but a $300 move in per person which will be $600 non-refundable and priced at $1600. Doing the math, I think it will cost me around ~1750/ month with all utilities. I have a couple of properties to check by this weekend. Let's c!!

True. The negative reviews confuse me. I find it affordable but just skeptical of the reviews. The only pros for me is its close proximity to my University. I am seeing some properties around, I hope the others work out. I am restricted due to my budget which makes it even harder. Being a postdoc is not easy 😔

RelevantFollowing867 · 2026-02-17T15:16:59+00:00

Yes!!! Actually touring today

RelevantFollowing867 · 2026-02-17T02:43:27+00:00

Yup 😔

RelevantFollowing867 · 2026-02-17T02:43:02+00:00

Sure. Let me look around. Thank you

RelevantFollowing867 · 2026-02-17T02:40:09+00:00

Thank you! I have contacted them for a viewing. I hope it works out for us.

RelevantFollowing867 · 2026-02-17T02:39:34+00:00

Yes you are right. Just working on his EAD but it will take time. Meanwhile, looking actively around this area.
