apartment hunting in downtown CHICAGO! | touring 10 luxury apartments w/ prices

[@michaelscavo]

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. 😳

[@taylorwynn]

Yes! This is downtown luxury apartments only like in the title :) I included the average one bed rent prices at the beginning of the video! I know Chicago has so many other amazing neighborhoods and cheaper options, we were just looking at luxury buildings for this video 🖤

[@pancakek2397]

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!

[@elc18381314]

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.

[@mimimalone548]

@@elc18381314 I lived in Lincoln Park years ago. The whose who, movers and shakers, live there or Astor Street. We don’t take those “luxury” apartments seriously. 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.

That sounds nice. I want to move to a city w all of that but good weather. Not sure what that would be haha

Chicago is a great city to live in. Especially for someone your age. There is always something to do, even when there is nothing to do. I think its definitely a place to consider.

Who overlooks Chicago ? Chicago is literally one of the most famous cities in the world for Food , Music , Sports , Architecture , Schools , Downtown , Skyline , Riverwalk , Lake Front , etc etc...

[@ofthegirl]

I love love love Chicago. I drive there from Cleveland once a year just to stay in a cute hotel and do all of the tourist things. And honestly, they never feel 'touristy'. The culture, the architecture, the water, the parks, the food... all great. And as far as winter, you don't have to drive anywhere since you work for yourself, so you can relax and watch the snow fall! It's beautiful.

[@RubyChopsticks]

There are so many luxury apartment buildings here it’s crazy! I bought a condo but I cannot work from home and my family is here so it makes sense. I’d highly recommend finding a building close to an L stop if you don’t have a car. it makes exploring the city so much easier and less expensive than having to catch Ubers all the time. Buses are less reliable and are subject to the weather so the L is great!

[@valumen]

YES, please continue with this series! I am not from the US (or America), and I find it so interesting to learn about the differences between our countries. My hubby asked me just this week if I knew what a „condo“ was, and thanks to you I could tell him. I could watch you telling me about rentals, houses, neighborhoods and the citizens for hours. Best of luck for your decision making, I want you to be happy.❤️

[@ericaohmg95]

I love visiting Chicago. It’s one of my favorite cities ever. I live in the Midwest, but I don’t make enough to afford these luxury apartments. I love living vicariously through you with these awesome travel videos!

[@OkStop]

Also, I never knew luxury apartments offered these many amenities, I had thought most offered a gym, great view, and garage parking. Idk if I’ll ever be able to afford an apartment of these caliber. I grew up living in a one bedroom apartment (with no living room or dining room, it was basically a small kitchen, 1 bathroom, small bedroom, and a carpeted area to sit on) with 4 people; anything better than that is truly a blessing for me. Im blessed to have a roof over my head, clean water, and good food on the table.

[@abbysweat9202]

I never regret giving up on the hustle and the money chasing and instead going for the low income, go with the flow, simple and happy life...and then I see videos like this and for 2 seconds I'm like maybe I should go back? Lol I think some of it is being jealous of the money but most of it is age jealousy...I had a great time in my twenties but it goes by so quick! At least I get to watch you do it and cheer you on while you are living your best life. I know you mentioned in one of these videos that it's not all fun and glamorous all the time and I know that but it sure is fun to watch and dream.

[@bobbi12781]

Thank you for highlighting our beautiful city! I’ve lived in Chicago for 16 years in several different neighborhoods and I currently live in River West / Fulton Market / West Loop. IMO, it’s the best of both worlds - the luxury buildings, great views and close proximity to downtown, but with a bit more personality and neighborhood feel. Best restaurant neighborhood in the city, too.

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

[@leannschaffnit7376]

That's why they've got all the other stuff. It honestly feels kind of like a dorm to me

[@starship2235]

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.

[@MomsFavoriteSpawn]

@@leannschaffnit7376 definitely has that dorm hangout and socialize in communal space vibes. I love it! I'm not so active in attending social gatherings but if it's just at my apartment building I'd be all for it.

[@AyH25]

Yeah i would want a two bedroom at least for that price. Where do you live with those prices?

[@sassyd8738]

i AGREE

[@Jomoscho]

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.

[@SC-ty8he]

Chicago is a wonderful, cosmopolitan city-I grew up here, have lived in other countries and still find new things to discover and explore.

It's crazy how beautiful Chicago is. As someone who doesn't live anywhere near there, everything you hear about Chicago is always crime and violence. You'd never know it was so nice based on that.

[@kristinnunez2702]

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.💜💜💜

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.

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.😊

The type of apartment shown at the last location is a Convertible. Sometimes it’s referred to as a Junior 1 bedroom.

Not me, a Midwest girl who lives in a small town in IN, thinking “oh those prices aren’t so bad” 🥴 Seriously though, Chicago is amazing. The people are so kind, the hustle and bustle is great but easy to get away from, it’s CLEAN, it has so many amazing opportunities for all different types of people. I really hope you choose Chicago! Winters can be cold, but you were in NY in winter and enjoyed it!

[@raven_watches]

Me too! I live outside of Nashville, Tn and was really debating how awful the market is here

[@lkessler1]

I love these videos, please continue making them. I'm from MI, now living in TX, and while I don't miss the winters, I miss everything else about the midwest. And, thanks for including the lipgloss you are wearing, I absolutely love it!

Come back home.

Hey CHICAGO!!! I’m from Chicago but not this part of Chicago, would be nice tho. I’m thankful for the part I live in,no shame. Good luck finding a place.

[@LoveFromAndreaaa]

I love Chicago! One of my favorite places to visit!

[@lmt16]

I can't believe how all these apartments look pretty much the same. And the prices are so crazy how does anyone afford to live in this city LOL

[@taylorwynn]

These are only luxury buildings! There are lots of cheaper options. But ya a lot of the newer buildings do look really similar across all cities.

Lived in Chicago suburbs for 10 years, downtown living on the river is the best place. Moved to Phoenix 3.5 yrs and miss downtown but not the winters. The property taxes are insanely high but Chicago is the best town for entertainment, shopping, restaurants. Love and miss it!

[@katemcclure94]

It makes me so happy you’re loving Chicago Taylor! You should explore some walk ups/brownstones in the Lincoln Park/Lakeview area. Lots of charm!

My dad is from Chicago but considering the crime spike in Chicago I’d never live there even if rent were free, same reason I left San Fran, although the food in Windy City is simply amazing!

Welcome to the city! We just bought our first condo here and I would have to disagree with you about purchasing vs renting here. The neighborhoods make all the difference. You basically just stayed in the "downtown" area, but you can get some great places outside of those areas, not a lot of people can purchase in those areas you looked at! In the neighborhood we were looking at, mortgage payments vs rental payments were becoming equal amounts of money, so it made sense for us to find a long-term condo!

[@AyH25]

What areas do you recommend to look? :)

[@fromcitytoocean]

@@AyH25 I love Uptown, Lincoln Square, Andersonville, Ravenswood, and Edgewater. I lived in Wickerpark a couple of years ago and that was great!

[@cateia97]

Yes! I absolutely love your apartment hunting videos. I love seeing what's out there in cities across the country, and Chicago has been on my radar as far as places to live for a long time. Glad you're enjoying it!

[@EMILY4DAYS]

Love your series, Taylor! I am always excited to see your new uploads, and they never disappoint! I hope you're having a great time traveling.

[@ivettejimenez434]

Awesome! your potential seems limitless. I'm fascinated with investing but being a single mother and juggling all these things are quite difficult. How best can I start and what sector to engage in?

[@ivettejimenez434]

@Bryan wow! do you think you can give me some advice on how to invest in a healthy way as you are doing? Please

[@ivettejimenez434]

@Bryan Thanks for sharing, just looked up on google and I'm super impressed with her credentials. I dropped a massage on her webpage and hope she replies soon.

[@Benjaminmac]

Don’t wait until the market skyrocket again then you start biting your fingers wishing you made the decision to invest. bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made

[@patsnew8422]

Am not good doing it alone but getting into the market has been my best decision so far in my road to financial independence as it turns out to be lucrative for me and Personally I have multiple streams so I just enable the use of an investment advisor to navigate and secure the returns

[@christopher8633]

Woah, Though this is the first time i would be reading comments about my financial advisor Ms. Melisa on KZbin comments and it is quite a memorable insight.

[@Clutching.My.Pearls]

Born, raised, and worked in Chicago, I love my hometown. You would have more fun in Wolf Point East because it's location is very walkable to so many shops, restaurants, theaters, music, bars, and transportation. Yes, the winters are tough but the city stays alive no matter what and you'll always find a place to warm up!

[@94agoodyear]

In answer to your question, yes, I want this to continue! Love these apartment and city tours!! Have you considered looking at Minneapolis? Beautiful water views there too!
