Bold by nature, Chicago rewards the curious. A skyline of architectural masterpieces rises above 26 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline, and everyday life unfolds across hundreds of distinct neighborhoods. Renters settle into classic greystone walk-ups just steps from Wrigley Field, while the West Loop's Fulton Market district offers converted lofts and Michelin-caliber dining on the same block. Logan Square buzzes along Milwaukee Avenue with independent restaurants and easy access to The 606 elevated trail, and Streeterville delivers sleek high-rises with sweeping lake views. The CTA's "L" train threads it all together, making car-free living not just possible but genuinely comfortable across much of the city.
The rental stock reflects Chicago's layered architectural character. Greystones and vintage three-flats define the North and West Side streetscapes, while River North and Streeterville are anchored by glass-and-steel high-rises.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
