    To clarify on my comment in the video, brokers in Chicago don't charge a broker fee for help finding an apartment because we are paid directly by the building/landlord as a referral fee when our client signs a lease with them. So, technically not free.. we're still getting paid, just not by the tenant. :)
    Thanks again for letting me be apart of this, Taylor - hopefully you choose Chicago as your next home!

    Chicago peeps REPRESENT 🙌🏽🙌🏽 this was so fun to watch. These areas are considered VERY high end and most Chicagoans can’t afford them. I would love to see you venture out into some of the residential areas of the city particularly North. It was so crazy to see the rental prices for some areas and how much they have gone up over the last few years. I used to live in Uptown and we were paying $1300 for a TWO bedroom. Now that’s the cost for a one bedroom in the area. 😳

      Taylor if you like charming neighborhood feels, check out old town or Lincoln park. West loop seems like a perfect fit for you as well! I would honestly not live in river north or Gold Coast…it’s kind of touristy. I feel like the neighborhoods are where most of the locals live! Downtown is so convenient to access anyways!

      It’s not that downtown spaces aren’t beautiful, but a true Chicago experience (especially if you don’t plan to be here more then a few years) would be Lincoln Park, Old Town, Logan Square, Wicker Park. Living in the neighborhoods is more my style and and coming downtown for events.

Maybe the Lake Forest people, who want weekend city living like them. I know several wealthy out of town folks keep a place in the city. Chicago real estate is where it is happening, from Beverly to Evanston and on up the coast. Properties selling for over asking and off the market in hours.

    Our son (in his late 30's) moved to Chicago in 2015 and adores living there. For frame of reference and basis of comparison, he was born and raised in South Florida, went to college in NYC and continued living there for a few years afterwards, but then also lived in metro DC; Burlington, VT; and the Chapel Hill area of NC before moving to Chicago. We had never been to Chicago until he moved there, and now we can not get enough of that fabulous city. Yes, winters are super cold - but there is so much great stuff going on there that it more than makes up for the weather: fabulous theatre (at much cheaper prices than Broadway), a vibrant music scene, world-class museums, amazing food, legendary sports teams - not to mention Wrigley Field itself, dozens of neighborhoods each with their own unique personalities, and decent (better than most) public transit.

    For the price points, I would’ve expected bigger apartments. The rooms just felt like they’d be incredibly cramped after furnishing them. Also, I’m so glad that cost of living is fairly low where I’m at. Luxury apartments start around $1200 for a 1 bedroom. You could rent a really nice sized house for a few thousand a month

      The small living rooms made the spaces feel a bit like hotel rooms to me, rather than someplace you would kick back and feel cozy in. But the views were amazing. I'd like to see apartments that aren't in luxury buildings. It's a beautiful city for sure.

    You have great options if you end up choosing Chicago! I live in the lakeshore east/new eastside area and love it so far! I’ve been in Chicago btw for almost 4 years and have enjoyed my time here. Yes the winters can be draining but you get used to it. I’m originally from LA and have also lived in Boston and NYC before moving to Chicago so I know a thing or two about big cities. Most of the people here complaining or overly paranoid about the crime are likely locals/Midwesterners who probably have lived in a bubble their entire lives. Just be smart and mindful when deciding where and when you go out.😊

    I love reading all the positive comments about Chicago but I have a somewhat different perspective. I was born and raised in the Chicagoland area - all of the counties that "collar" Cook County that is Chicago. I lived in the northern area of Cook County - Hoffman Estates, Palatine, Inverness, etc. I moved to Chicago, specifically Horner Park, and lived there for three years. I absolutely LOVED it. I had a 1 bedroom apartment that was huge and was pretty low rent wise. Then, I moved several blocks west to the Irving Park neighborhood and lived there for three years. That's where I saw a difference. Some gang activity that grew in amount over those 3 years. Definitely stick with the downtown area of Chicago and please don't let this weird but tragic situation at the Bean scare you off. The winters can be hard. I have chronic pain, fibromyalgia and some other things that make winter very hard for me. But if you have all those great amenities then you wouldn't have to leave often, during the winter, unless you want to. Please take my review with a grain of salt. Wherever you land will be the right place for you.💜💜💜

With that said, the views by the river are just breath taking. Chicago has the best food too. I try to vacation there whenever I can. I hope you choose Chicago to love and I can live vicariously through you.

    Keep in mind that they do full on light shows on the Merchandise Mart, so you'd need really good curtains to block that out, when needed. If you're still around, that building is not too far from where the Eastland Disaster happened on the river. There's a plaque that commemorates the site at Wacker and LaSalle. I did a haunted tour a few years ago and they say the spirts quieted down after the plaque was installed, 85 years later.

    First I want to say that I think anybody who is a follower of this channel would say: "Bring us more real estate, make up, and bomb food spots!" So.... yes please continue this series! I also am amazed at how expensive even the cheapest apartment you showed was, and that's just rent. Most places have home owner's association dues and all sorts of other costs/expenses associated with them. My best friend lived in Lincoln Park for several years and I always LOVED visiting Chicago. It really is a beautiful city. The apartments with the river views were to die for!!

    I live in the suburbs. My daughter’s first apartment was in Lincoln Park and was a 10 x 10 studio. She could lay in bed and get a beer at the same time. But she loved it. It was what she could afford fresh out of college. She has since upgraded. She moved to the theater district next and the building had the amenities you talked about. Chicago is a great city.
