Moving to Chicago in a month with my wife & baby. Does anyone have any recs on buildings with a large 1 bedroom or 1+den? We are primarily looking in West loop and Fulton river district.

No building advice, but consider renting a condo directly from an owner rather than looking at apartment complexes. This will save you some $ and get you some more room for the price

WL is a great spot to live. Neighborhood is very much your demographic (lots of babies/young kids). Park is right there, as is Mariano’s and Whole Foods + a great bar and restaurant scene. Anything north of Adams St will keep you more in the thick of things.

Don’t live in the loop or printers row, not a neighborhood feel. If you’re looking apartment buildings in WL, look at Monroe Aberdeen apartments, Gateway, Arcadia Tower,luxe on Madison, or the reside on Randolph properties.

Additionally, go on yochicago.com to see a list of all the buildings in the area. Happy to DM with more recs, I love the WL and hope you find something that works for you there

Why are you looking in those areas in particular. You can get more space in other areas, wicker park, Lincoln Park , Logan square.

Thanks for everyone's help. I'll check these places out. We want to live in downtown for a year until we buy. What are the loop and printer's row like? Does everything in the loop shut down after working hours? I don't know much about printer's row. Both areas and west loop are walkable to work.

Go to Bucktown or Wicker park. Best location when considering a need to get both to the office and to the airport

The loop shuts down after work. Don’t choose anything South of Adams.
West Loop is the hottest area in Chicago right now. I would also check out River East

Old Town Park - whilst not in west Loop/Fulton market is a great option. Brand new complex, amenities are top and everywhere is very accessible.

616 w Fulton

I would say that renting condos in the long run will be more expensive. Between the exorbitant move out fees and move in fees and elevator renting fees, it may be cheaper to rent but a wash in the long run. Also, no good condo building amenities in the WL (if that’s a thing you are interested in). I used to live in a WL condo, and am very happy with my recent apt move for the above reasons

Check out Hubbard Place and Kingsbury Plaza. It's technically River North, but I consider it Fulton River district given the location

We're leaning towards a condo in West loop or Fulton. Does anyone have any real estate agent recs? I know some where I live now don't bother with rentals.

I appreciate the help

Aram Ghazaryan is fantastic. He is with Re/max 1st.

So, what clinic do you all go to?

I’ll start it off. I’ve been to 3:

2. Spring in Oakland and SF, CA
3. SCRC in Santa Barbara, CA

I’ve also done outside monitoring at RMA in SF, CA. Multiple reasons for the many clinics if anyone is interested.

Our 5 month old started daycare about 5 weeks ago. We’ve already had to keep her home for 2.5 of those 5 weeks due to catching various illnesses (croup, rsv, brinchiolitis, etc). Both my wife and I have been sick most of that time as well (gotten it from the baby). Wife is thinking we get a full time nanny for the next 4 months to help the baby build antibodies. Cost aside, is this feasible / worthwhile to go thru the effort / finding the right fit, only for 4 months?

I never do this but I need some objective advice. My wife is 5mo pregnant and my sister is getting married. Wedding was adjusted because of COVID but she set the date knowing I might not be able to attend as I’d have to fly there. Now I’m conflicted because if I attend, I’d have to quarantine for 2 weeks away from my wife and miss a couple DR appts. I’m her only support where we live. Would be stressful for her but I’m getting immense pressure from my parents to attend the wedding. Advice?

How many billable hours per week is considered at capacity? I’m getting pushback on boundaries I’m setting about additional matters and marketing work from my firm when I’ve been billing 60-75 hours per week for the last 6 weeks, and I’m still behind on my work. I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.
