November, more inventory. December, prices are a bit lower and you might get hit with a snowstorm

November definitely. Holidays are stressful even for things like moving. Also snow.

I was apartment hunting in November and moved in on Dec 1. Inventory was low but I found my little dream studio and was able to negotiate the rent down by $200. Served its purpose well for 5 years.

I saw 30ish apartments with a broker. Most were awful. So I took matters into my own hands and kept refreshing Streeteasy to see the latest listings. I emailed the broker on the listing minutes after it went up and was the first to see it.

What's a good place to live to access both downtown and Argonne national lab in Lemont? I live on the far north side of Chicago now, but my partner got a new job and it would be an hour each way by car to commute for him. I work downtown along the red line. Looking for somewhere affordable, not interested in night life or anything but groceries and transit need to be 10 minute walk or less and be safe. Also prefer CTA over metra since my company has later night events. Thank you!!
