Hi my name is Caira Button and I am a 26 year old who makes videos about tips, tricks, and organization for small space living. I love the minimalist, feminine, clean vibe. I have kept the decor pretty neutral adding a bit of mid century modern & LOTS of plants. I hope my advice is able to help you in your journey!

[@timothyjackson1981]

As a current resident of Chicago, i loved this video. Great content!

[@CairaButton]

Yay im glad you like it!

[@carl056]

Yes, this was pretty good. I think you should do one with like the average prices In type of areas and like safety and such.

[@PiePiePie07]

Yes! Like a per neighborhood basis or something similar.

[@usfanlovesjiwoo1978]

Safety is so important.

[@sohaibahmed226]

Wow $760 apartment in Chicago isn't bad. The business lounge was pretty cool as well

[@CairaButton]

Yes such a good price!!

[@leeanndowden6113]

Words can’t explain how happy I am for you Caira! I’ve been watching you for as long as I can remember and always thought you were so underrated. Your content is so unique, interesting and enjoyable! I never understood why you were stuck on just over 3k for so long. For some reason, your videos stopped coming up in my recommended so I didn’t see your videos for quite a while. I randomly remembered you and looked up your channel and realized I hadn’t watched any of your videos in the past five months 😭 Imagine my surprise when I saw you had 12k now! Between yesterday and today I’ve been binging those videos (and making sure to leave a like ofc). I’m so happy for you with your new apartment. The filming set up is great, the apartment is beautiful and you seem sooo happy! Just want to say thank you for the amazing content and I hope the channel continues to grow!

[@CairaButton]

THIS COMMENT IS SO NICE🥺🥺🥺 you seriously made my whole day!!!! I so appreciate your support and kind words. It’s because of people like you that I love doing KZbin. Thank you so so much!

Coming from NYC, I’m so impressed. Great prices. I’ve always wanted to spend a year or so in Chicago...

[@cesnav7593]

I’ve watched videos like this of places in NYC. The prices for the tiny spaces, is CRAZY

[@briannasanchez8104]

[@CairaButton]

Aw yay I’m glad it helped!

[@Geannababy]

I live in Chicago and I liked this video the last apartment you showed I liked a lot a lot and for someone who wants to only spend 1,000 or less I liked it! I will keep you in mind if I ever need help looking for an apartment one day when I want to move to the city that is! Me and my fiancé will keep you in mind for that! 😊

[@myericklozano]

So much value! Thanks Caira.

[@brownsugar1301]

I loved this video, considering today economy I don’t want a roommate nor do I want to pay high rent cost, it’s good what you’re doing maybe you can help me in the future 😁. I’m currently living in the south and looking to move to Chicago!

[@mattm4171]

Love this video, a very helpful rundown. Moving to Chi town in 2021, I'll def keep you in mind!

[@CairaButton]

Yes! Let me know if I can help!

[@midnitekezia234]

Great video! It's nice to see vintage buildings being represented since that's personally more my style than the luxury towers. 😍

[@CairaButton]

Awesome! I will definitely keep doing more like that!

[@mattm4171]

Same! The new developments tend to lack any character, and I've found the finishes pretty cheap once you look closely. Love vintage!

[@alexisslaughter1216]

I’m sooo happy I found your channel just applied to UIC Law so fingers crossed I get it and can move from NY definitely will keep you in mind for help !

[@CairaButton]

Yes that’s awesome! Let me know!

[@MsGorteck]

Yes I VERY(!!!!!) much like this video. Thank you. I might need you this summer. If you could do more of these that would be nice. Smaller is better, think under 150sqft. That might be micro? Also SRO's would be interesting. Chiago used to have lots of those but don't know if they still do. Again thanks

[@TheChicagoLoverGirl]

I will be looking in a few months so Ill def be emailing you. Loved this video!

[@sheepphobic1089]

[@CairaButton]

Definitely!

[@CJSails]

Oh my this was good information. I'm about to be in the process of finding a new place. I've done it in the past and every place I've founds sucked, but I didn't know things I know now. Including I could get help. I thought you only could get help finding homes. My next place needs to not me window unit ac.

[@msistah247]

As a former Chicagoan, I love the video.

[@kishaarethapaul4230]

[@katialemos474]

I love this video ,very helpful but I wish you had told us the location of the last two apartment.

[@Gabrielle499]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! 👏👏👏 I am obsessed with small spaces/studios and always go see whatever’s available even if I’m not currently looking to move. I wish you lived in Ontario! ☺️ I’ve been trying to find a cheap place in Toronto for years! 😂

[@CairaButton]

Hahaha I would love to be able to show off apartments EVERYWHERE!!!

[@willowclay5406]

The winters are so cold!

[@Smileyface440]

i loved seeing this price point!

[@olbird7647]

Oooh- love a good nose-around empty apartments 👍 You should be especially good for clients needing studios/1-beds because of your lived expertise! Btw- your sweary-shimmy incident cracked me up... oh the perils of working from home...😂😂😂👏🇬🇧

[@CairaButton]

Omg the shimmy was so bad😂😂

[@angelabrown4975]

[@josigg4153]

Hello Caira ! Thank God i found your vlog. I am moving to Illinois Mid this 2021. This video is such a help for someone like me who knows nothing about apartment hunting. Can i DM you once my papers arw settled ?

[@budgetrebelgoals]

Love it. btw. love your clean decor style

[@CairaButton]

Thank you!!

[@bethanylalala]

Oh my god. I’m planning on moving next year and I had no idea leasing agents were free to residents. I hope I can work with you sometime next year.

[@joannechoy9805]

I loved this!!

[@CairaButton]

Thank you!!

[@Maya_Ruinz]

Holy cow, these apartments are perfect for the price.

[@jennyhammond9261]

I'm dying....the shimmy on the video call!!!

[@turboteresa1]

I will be using you for my move in January 2023.

[@elizabethashton9590]

I understand that the two months free make the apartments under $1300 a month, what happens when the lease runs out and the rent jumps $200+ a month? Also, when you're touring apartments you need to spend more time in them as the 30 second blips don't show you anything. And despite the windows in these apartments, they are way, way too dark.

[@akeemthomas729]

This is a great video planning to move to Chicago

[@monicafigueroa8962]

Loved this video!

[@CairaButton]

Thank you!

[@samirahashi8717]

Love this! What is the first apartment called?

[@chrisrosales8754]

Good video ! We need more Chicago KZbinrs!

[@CairaButton]

Thank you!!

[@kayleeholland9837]

Asked for this help and contrary to zillow and apartments.com was told nothing was in this price point? so I guess the season matters and if you can go out and look yourself it’s better than a leasing agent ✨

[@mslovings1349]

Definitely looking

[@harvir6167]

great video, you should also talk about parking options.

[@CairaButton]

None of these units had parking available!

[@kyonoodles]

My partner and I are thinking about looking for a new lease when our is up! You have a future customer =)

[@jewelsjacobs1090]

Exactly what I’m looking for. Older woman on an adventure looking for a budget studio w utilities in a great neighbor hood. See you on Instagrams and will call you at compass. Coming end of Jan 21 to look see for Mar/ apr move in.

[@CurlyGirlLife1]

I enjoyed this video, and will always love studio apartments

[@CairaButton]

Same!! Love small spaces!!

[@komalpatankar3122]

soon traveling to Chicago

[@milonkturner6624]

Love your video! What are the names of these apartments? Don't see it in your description.

[@matthewburno]

I'm planing on moving to Chicago eventually! But not in the middle of the city like outside but still near the trains!

[@CairaButton]

Let me know when you do and I would love to help!

[@matthewburno]

@@CairaButton thanks for replying! I'm what's the cheapest apartments for a 1bed and still a good area? I don't want to be in the middle of the city since I want my neighbor to be calm!

[@reginamndz]

loved this!! thanks for sharing, I'm moving to Chicago to study for an MA this fall, and I'm international... safe to say I'm very lost and nervous, but also excited haha do you have any tips for people like me? can I also get the help of a leasing agent even if I'm not from the US? Do you recommend visiting Chicago before moving countries or do you think it's alright to get everything arranged remotely and then moving before starting classes? thank you in advance!!

[@Prettyyellagirl22]

I am so happy I found your channel. Emailing you now! Thank you! ☺️

[@lillianhernandez9879]

Love it ,wish you was here in New York

[@CairaButton]

I would love to be able to show apartments in New York too!!

[@tathaum8220]

Hi Caira, my name is Martha. Thank you so much for your video. It's really gets me interested. I never been in Chicago even once and I would love too. I've been lived in NJ for a few months for my ESL class. Next year I've plan to come to Chicago to get my Graduate Degree. Do you know where is the place that you can find an affordable house? A bit far from downtown or even outside Chicago doesn't really matters as long as it's still integrated. Thank you in advance and GOD bless you 🙏😊

[@MT-hk9cp]

Moved to Chicago in 2012 and lived witha friend on the Northside for 3 months while looking for a place. If you are looking for bigger spaces and free car parking, go Southside. Even better find an independent landlord like I did and you can avoid rent increases every year or two.

[@aprilgroves5771]

Please make more like this in Chicago

[@CairaButton]

I will!!

[@DynamiteProd]

I might hit you up pretty soon. Planning on moving to Chicago in september

[@ms.carmeng7995]

This was a great video.

[@CairaButton]

Thank you!!

[@Africanbeautyy93]

Thanks for this video! We’re the last two also in the Gold Coast area also? If not, where are they please?

[@itzeldelgadillo4251]

I love the videooo

[@CairaButton]

Thank you!!

[@kady1084]

What is the square footage on each of these? I live in Chicago and my lease is up at the end of July and want to look more downtown. So I love these videos to start getting a list of must haves/preferred haves and different areas. Of course, by then no one will know what pricing is, but I never knew a leasing agent was free for the customer so I will definitely be reaching out closer around June/July.

[@CairaButton]

They vary but between 300 - 550 sq ft! I will try and include that in the future!

[@MsGorteck]

This was really nice. Could you PLEASE(!!) talk a bit slower? I WANT(!!!!) to see more of these, especially the less than 250ft, 100ft(???). I have lived in SRO's, so I am not afraid of small. (Yes, I know I have dated myself as I think Chicago, like all the other big cities has done away with SRO's but they used to have them.) Please make more of these, please. Also could you explain the different neighborhoods, and show public transportation near any apartments you talk about. Thanks again for doing this.

[@tradinghatky5196]

Wonderful video. Can you suggest some studio apartment near IIT south chicago?

[@jsmith5509]

Please make more videos like this.

[@CairaButton]

I definitely will!

[@Sinzblade]

I am planning on moving to Chicago in April of 202,1 and the process seems intimidating so I'm glad I found your video. Quick question: when would you recommend I start looking/when will apartments start listing openings for April? Thank you and I hope we can connect in the future.

[@CairaButton]

90 days is when we will really know availability! Email me if you want help finding an apartment! [e-mail]

[@oualidbentoumi838]

I’m speechless!! I’m moving soon and definitely contacting you

[@CairaButton]

Yes let me know!!

[@sunandevise9934]

Wow

[@biochemdiva98]

Hey Caira! I love your channel! How far out from our moving date should we start looking for an apartment/contact a leasing agent?

[@CairaButton]

You can contact them at any point, but we won’t really have options to show you until about 3 months out.

[@douglaselliottjr1279]

Awesome video. Just moved back home from Seattle and I'm about to start a new job at O'Hare as well. Excited about that. Looking for a reasonable apartment. And I'm going to contact you to help me out. Wife lives in Canada and she's going to relocate here to Chicago in the next year or so. Thanks for the video. Make some more please.

[@CairaButton]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@kringlevillaluz9687]

I'm living in McHenry, and I want to move in CHICAGO because all my caregiver job its in Chicago.

[@Purplelace777]

@ Caira first I want to say thank you for totally understanding that my comment was out of concern and never to be mean 🙂. Now the other apartments you showed which were so freakin cute 🙂 but you never said where they were located , you told the location for the others but the ones more budget friendly u did not say what location of the city their in 🙂🙂. Those were really cute and I am sure someone will grab those soon especially for the price 🙂 well you stay safe

[@CairaButton]

Of course! I totally understand your concerns. The budget options were in lakeview/Lincoln park! Totally forgot to mention that!

[@sylviahalo]

What was the 2nd building (with the little balconies)??

[@Chesca99]

If only u wld make a 2023 version of this 😢

[@HelloTuuuurdz]

Loved the video! I’m moving to Chicago in June from Phoenix. Super excited. How hard is it to find a rental without a job? I work as a restaurant manager and will be doing the same in Chicago, but I wanted to take my time in finding the perfect fit once I get there. I have good credit and money in the bank. I would love to work with you once I get there!

[@CairaButton]

Apartments will require you to have some sort of income to be approved!

[@CairaButton]

Or you could have a co-signer

[@HelloTuuuurdz]

@@CairaButton ok good to know. Thank you 🙏🏾

[@Prettyyellagirl22]

I’m moving from Phoenix also this year!

[@victorrichard7814]

Pls made other videos like this

[@crystalharris806]

Can you tell me the name of the second apartment in this video? It’s the one that has the studios starting at $1138.

[@aribarie5388]

Please do apartment shopping with no credit

[@edwardwilliams2438]

Nice...but. If you show an apartment attempt to highlight the bathroom layout with a slower pan,,,the jerky view is not flattering. I understand your time limitation...but pacing will help the presentation...otherwise a great channel....Kudos and wishing you great success.
