City - Dekalb

Almost 70 miles west of Chicago along Interstate 88 sits the city of Dekalb. Most residents, work, live and play in Dekalb itself rather than commuting to Chicago. For this reason, a wealth of businesses, restaurants, and entertainment venues exist in Dekalb. The city is also home to Northern Illinois University. The students of this large college make up much of the population of this town. The presence of the student body noticeably colors the otherwise quiet atmosphere of Dekalb. The town also contains a smaller airport and several parks, though residential housing makes up most of the city's land area.

School data provided by 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.

Not accurate

Sq Ft advertised includes the garage. As others point out, they never fix anything. Getting snow removed only happens after you threaten to not pay rent.

6/24/22
It's degraded considerably in the past 10 years

Property manager is rude and hardly ever on the premises. Maintenance is unprofessional. The once had a good maintenance man who knew his stuff, but the got rid of him because they no longer wanted to pay a professional. We have had creatures living in our walls, and although we asked them to do something to get rid of the problem, they never did, and we still hear scratching in the walls and occasionally get a whiff of something that died in there. Now, the awful property manager is refusing to renew our lease, although we have been here for ten years, have ALWAYS paid our rent in full before the first, and have been good tenants. Horrible management that cares nothing for the tenants. NOT a good place to rent anymore.

9/7/19
They do not fix anything

If I could give 0 stars, i would. It's been 6 months and nothing is fixed. Dishwasher since day 1. Washer from 2 months in and it's at a little over 6 months. DO NOT RENT! TRUST ME!
