About to sign a lease in Lincoln Park for a $1825/mo apartment with no central air (in-wall).

Am I crazy?

You can do better than that. I have a 700ish, 30th floor, modern apt and pay 1400 with parking. I signed in January but places are still running a deal. Get a realtor.

I am in an apartment Amin Lakeview East right off Sheridan - ~870 sq ft, 1 bed/1bath, utilities, open kitchen with tons of cabinets and space, renovated appliance and all for $1600 , parking available on site but location is great and an amazing courtyard

Umm…how big is the place? If it’s a 5 bed 5 bath, that would lead to a different answer than a studio…

East-facing 1 BR ~760 sq. ft.

What state is the unit in? Thats really what will determine if it's worth it. 1800 for a full 1 bedroom isn't bad at all.

Are utilities included? What amenities? In unit laundry? Parking on site?

For reference, I'm paying 1900 in old town for a full 1 bedroom. My units is fairly nice (good appliances). Cable tv, internet, heat, water utilities included. Doorman building. No in unit laundry. Parking available on site. High floor with good view. Window AC

Have to pay for electric and internet/cable. So about another $120 utilities.

It’s an old building but has high ceilings which really makes the unit look even bigger.

From all accounts the building is positively reviewed.

In Lakeview East, I have 1BR with about same sq ft for $1500/mo. Parking included. Signed it a month ago. Lincoln park is costlier than lake view though.. old kitchen, with amenities included. I have lived there for 3 years before moving a little north.

If your apartment is relatively new with modern kitchen, good views in high rise building, closer to the lake then that sounds reasonable.

Sorry did not post until now. Building name is “The New York Private Residencies”

I thought I was paying a lot for a studio near south lakeview east at $1170. With parking it goes up to 1360

If you have to ask…

Apartments have been stupid expensive lately- you’re not crazy

No central air is doable; there’s usually only a few really hot days a year.

Paid $1800 from 2014-2018 for 1 bed in LP, no A/C or parking.

Not terrible for LP proper. Pricey for Lakeview.

Agreed on other commenters saying you don’t need central air/heat.

I actually prefer radiator heat in the winter at this point 😂

Is it okay that I’ve been a slow junior as we’re hours away from closing? I’m trying to be proactive and available to cross things off the list but I’m SLOW: takes me long enough that they do it themselves (even though this wasn’t an issue earlier in the deal) and even on quick tasks or emails, they respond to it before I can click send. There’s also so much about closing that I don’t understand and I feel like I’m bothering the higher-ups on the team whenever I ask. *end anxiety post*
