How to Find an Apartment

• There are various free apartment finding services
  located throughout Chicago.
• They get paid with a percentage of your final
  rent price by the people who list the available
  apartments. (They will try to push you towards
  higher rent so they get a higher fee at the
  end.)?
• Be very specific of your absolute highest price
  which should include rent car, or just rent
  based on your situation.
• Be very specific about distance away from
  work/school. Make sure you try your commute
  during the same hours you will be commuting each
  day before you agree to an apartment.
• Pay attention to available public transportation
  near all of the buildings you view. If a train
  runs near the building, wait in the unit until a
  train passes to determine how loud it might be.
• With all services, you can search on their site
  based on neighborhoods, rent requirements,
  amenities, lease start dates, etc.
• It is recommended that you start looking 6-8
  weeks before your expected move-in date.
  Landlords are notified 2 months before the end of
  a lease whether the current tenant will be moving
  out.
• Be sure to bring a camera and notebook with you
  take pictures of all rooms, and the common areas
  so you remember what each looked like when you
  are later comparing things. Be sure to take
  notes on Pros / Cons / Rent / Parking / What is
  included in rent price / Extra amenities.

What to know BEFORE moving to Chicago

• Think of the city as a grid of streets with a few
  diagonals
• Grid has a 0/0 point at State and Madison.
• From there, streets are labeled east/west or
  north/south
• There can be a 100 N. State and a 100 S. State
  because of this
• Each 800 in numbering (generally) is one mile and
  equates to a major street.
• Going north, major streets are Madison (0 N),
  Chicago (800 N), North (1600 N), Fullerton (2400
  N), Belmont (3200 N), Irving Park (4000 N)
• Invest in a good pair of sneakers and water-proof
  boots
• 1 mile 10-15 minute commute during rush hours
• CTA is never on time during rush hour
• If you are unsure about taking public transit
  later at night, dont chance it, take a taxi!
  (Some follow the 900pm rule after 9 take a
  taxi!)
• Dont sign a two-year lease many people move
  after the first year. You get more familiar with
  the city and you find nicer places to live.
• If you ever need to find something in the city
  use chicago.citysearch.com or chicago.metromix.co
