Chicago Apartment Hunting | What's your budget?

[@adejokeoresanya7255]

The 3rd one is my absolute favourite 😍

An apartment’s view is really, REALLY important, yet your videographer zips past the windows as if they were blank walls to be gotten past as quickly as possible. I suggest that he pause for a good two seconds of SLOW scan per window, instead of racing past them. Views are a crucial feature to any serious apartment-hunter.

The prices in Chicago are pretty stellar compared to the other large cities in the US.

[@CairaButton]

Totally agree with this!

[@Marlonothompson]

The 1st and the 3rd are the best

[@sherrysimpson4440]

825 Sq feet was my favorite All looked good even the one not updated Thanks for sharing

[@Chicago_Jayhawk]

Definitely #2 that's next to the Jewel at Division/Clark. West Loop and Fulton are boring/stale neighborhoods. The #1 South Loop if it's straight budget.

I liked #2 and #4 - In a small space, I would appreciate having a balcony!

[@Yesica1993]

My budget was about $765, which I believe is what I used to pay for my studio in Lakeview years ago. $1,000 is obscene. I am never going to find apartment in this miserable city again. What kind of jobs do people have that they can afford this?! Mind boggling.

The 3rd one was my favorite. Great video Caira! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@user-jr6gn5ce4i]

I think #4 is actually the worst bang for its buck! it’s so small compared to the others!

[@marianne6676]

These units are so nice!! It would be cool if you could briefly comment the main building amenities.

[@scottboivin9748]

Hi Caira, could you please do one of these videos for people with children, 2-3 bedrooms maybe. Thanks for all that you do.

[@CairaButton]

I’ll be doing a 2 bed one next!!

[@loyds1fan]

Love your videos! I wish you could do this for other cities too.

[@deniseavila145]

Chicago is so expensive I been looking for an apartment and everything I find around my budget they ask for people to make 3x the rent it was so much easier to find apartments back in the good old days. And not many are pet friendly. 😢

[@SlavaBulba]

Hi Caira, thanks for the video! I spontaneously decided to move to Chicago after watching your videos just a couple of days back. Plan to move in 2 weeks. Anyway, could you please advise what are the rental criteria usually, in your experience, like, for example, that salary should be 2.5x or 3x the rent, things like that. And what is usually included and not included from utilities, meaning to understand how much more to put in budget for internet, water, sewer, trash, etc. Thanks again!

Third one is very cute❤

[@antoniojones5109]

I think the 1rst one is the best budget wise apartment with space for the $, yet that 3rd one has that combination of both…laundry differential I’m looking to move soon are there any good studios ranging 1,200-1,500 in close to downtown area; I work @ Clinton & Vanburan

[@gigalicma21]

It's wonderful appartement. I am coming

[@DemureDarlings]

Please do more penthouses❤

[@SuperMsRandom]

Can you do a 2 bedroom version?

[@CairaButton]

Yes!! I’ll add it to my last.

[@NunyaBiznes-yn8co]

Hi Caira, I asked on another video but will post again here. Now that you are a licensed broker, do you prefer working with leases/rentals or home sales? And why?

[@dawnsullivan7325]

I like them all but...#2

[@meyrickface]

The first one

[@bonniepwtf]

#2

[@haj2334]

#3

[@keeperzero]

Are there any raccoons in Chicago

[@MattSezer]

Very random question, but yes. I had one living under my porch growing up. We ended up calling animal control.
