City - Dekalb

Located 65 miles west of Chicago, DeKalb, Illinois combines small-town charm with the academic energy of Northern Illinois University. The historic "Barb City" features 44 public parks spanning over 700 acres, including the River Heights Golf Course and Hopkins Park Pool. Nature enthusiasts appreciate the walking and biking paths along the Kishwaukee River.

Downtown DeKalb showcases the Egyptian Theatre, an architectural landmark from 1929 that continues to host performances and events. The area offers diverse housing options, from established neighborhoods near NIU to newer apartment communities throughout the city.

DeKalb's heritage as the birthplace of barbed wire meshes with its evolving present, exemplified by Meta's data center development. The city maintains strong connections to both its agricultural roots and modern commerce along Route 23.

Could be worse.

Moved in this past September for law school and I think I'll be out of here when my lease ends. I live in a studio -- it's a nice unit! Not much to complain about inside my apartment. Always have friendly encounters with staff too. Outside, however, the neighborhood and other tenants are loud. Don't be surprised to hear screaming in the building, loud cars gunning down varsity, or that a crime occurred around the corner.

Horrible Place

I went here in search of an apartment and was rudely treated. I simply asked if they had anything available and was told no. My 3yr sister had to use the bathroom and they told her no as well. When we asked to speak to the manager the manager and the employee that was rude they both laughed at our complaint and said they would call the police if we didn't leave. I later found out this apartment still has many units available.

11/17/15
Rough Area

The apartment is old for sure but once you get it decorated and moved in, it can be great. My unit doesnt have a bathroom vent and the bathroom itself is awkward small. However we can make it work. The real issue is the buildings student tenants. Talk about rude, loud, inconsiderate fools. You simply can't keep up with the amount of noise.

9/2/15
