New to Chicago. Found a room in a 3bed/1 bath near the Addison brown line stop for $650/mo. Not modern, but a nice place & walkable Southport. 45 min commute to work. Is it worth the trade off?

Wow, that’s really cheap. Is your commute to work a train or car? If it’s train or the bus then it’s fine.

Just hope you can share a bathroom with two others. That would be tough for me$

I’m sure you make enough to bump your budget up rather than share 1 baths between 3 bedrooms.

I lived in a 4 bedroom 1 bath when I was right out of college, it’s part of growing up! Also had to take two separate buses to get to work, I did what I had to do to save money (I wasn’t a consultant). Honestly see nothing wrong with this approach

Hi Fish
I saw a post about people looking for rental deals in Chicago.

My building is offering a promotion for anyone that's referred from a current resident. I get a discount credit on rent and you would get one month free, plus a $400 rental credit, plus a $500 Amazon gift card.

There's no move/out fees and rent varies from ~1600 to 2,000 depending if you want a studio, one-bed, or two-bed.

Lakeview Boystown area, new building with ceiling to floor windows.

If you're interested DM me!
