1500 for a 1brdroom sounds like a tier 3 city

I pay just over 1500 for a 5 bedroom house in tier 3....definitely doable to find somewhere to rent in tier 2 for that price.

Looking in Chicago - tier two but surprisingly lower rent than people think

Thanks! Haha you too

1500 is reasonable. I was making almost the same salary when I first moved to Chicago and paid 1700 for a 1 bedroom w/ utilities, cable and internet included. Had around 600/mo in debt payments and still had plenty left over every month.

Could I dm you to what building?/area. I’m looking at a promotion this year so will 🤞🏽 more but I’m also a proponent in living below your means
