Description

This sunny, spacious, fully-furnished 1,450 sqft apartment is located in the heart of Edgewater Glen on the top floor of a four unit building. It would be perfect for a small family who is here for the academic year, or several grad students looking for a space to share. I travel a lot and am open to students, professors, a couple, or a small family. The apartment comes fully furnished (except you'll need to bring your own bed). Brand new sheets and towels. Relax in the north-facing living room or on the deck, or read in the gloriously sunny south facing sunroom. Cook up a feast in the spacious kitchen, or wake up early and watch the sun rise from the dining room with a nice cup of coffee. Great views all around, whether of our lush tree lined street or the high-rises near the lake. The unit is well-maintained. Lease can extend from early September 2026 until May 31, 2027, though we can be flexible with the start & end dates. This apartment has; Washer/dryer in unit, a gas stove/oven, central heat & AC, great cross breezes, garage parking available OR street parking (Chicago City sticker required), two bathrooms, lots of storage, light from all directions, cute backyard (shared with other neighbors), communal grill, covered bike parking for 2 bikes (4 more spaces in garage if rented), beautiful hardwood floors throughout, peace and quiet, and lots more. About us: I'm a government researcher and mostly stay with my partner, so I just don't need this much space. My goal is to share my space and also put my two grown children through college :) Honestly, you can rent the whole place if you want, make an offer! About you: Hoping to find a responsible, dependable, and communicative tenant (or tenants!) who will love living here as much as we have. Kids ok, and a cat may be ok (negotiable and would require pet deposit). No smoking of any kind is permitted in our building or on the property. The nuts & bolts: Rent includes: use of all furnishings in kitchen, bedrooms, living room, dining room, sunroom. 1 month security deposit required at lease signing. You must provide proof of income (offer letter, recent paystub, etc.) before signing a lease. Proof of renter’s insurance policy required within 5 days of signing lease and before move-in. $50 application fee for each adult Local Amenities: this apartment is extremely close to the Red Line (Granville stop), Loyola, several grocery stores (Aldi, Whole Foods, Ethiopian, Indian, and Pakistani), a Target, and lots of restaurants, banks, gyms, and hair stylists; it's also within walking distance to much more, including: CTA buses and Metra great restaurants, including Ethiopian Diamond, Yatai Asian Street Food, Falafel Kebab Station, Desi Brothers (Indian pizza!?

A bit further afield but still close: Argyle, with the best Asian (primarily Vietnamese but also others) grocery stores and restaurants around Devon Ave, where you can find an array of Indian and Pakistani grocers and restaurants Wrigleyville Southport shopping area Northwestern University and DePaul University About the neighborhood: Edgewater has a chill vibe compared to other Chicago neighborhoods. It’s not as busy as places like Wrigleyville or Lincoln Park, but that makes it all the much more enjoyable and attractive for folks who like to run and walk outside, enjoy being in peaceful neighborhoods, and.who are looking for a more laid back vibe. You see a lot of families here, and a lot of couples. It feels safe day or night, whether you’re walking alone or with others. Interested? Reach out. We’d love to hear from you.
