Any tips from locals for finding an apartment in Kenwood, Chicago?

There are a lot of great resources out there for finding an apartment in Kenwood.

Craigslist.org has a great section for rentals and most of these are rentals by owner.

Trulia.com is also a great resource - you can select your neighborhood, what amenities you want and even put in your minimum and maximum you are willing to pay per month.

Another source I would recommend is ApartmentHomeLiving.com. It allows you to choose your state, city and then neighborhood. It has a lot of the same features as Trulia with the ability to choose amenities and prices.

Besides Zillow.com here are a few more you can try: ForRent.com, Rent.com, WalkScore.com, and MyNewPlace.com.

I particularly like WalkScore.com because it gives you great information on how 'walkable' the area is, what your commute time will be and if you
are near transit.

You can also use the local papers and most of them have an online presence now where you can look for apartments that way too.

Hello Christina459.
I have access to several rentals in the Kenwood Chicago neighborhood. The average 2 bed/2 bath condo will run about $1350 per month. At this price point, you would normally get a washer/dryer, central air, and a dishwasher. Some new construction units are only steps from the lakefront. You can view available rentals at my website. The web address is shown below in my signature. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Check out Zillow.com, and even just look at some of the streets here on Streetfinder.com. Finding an apartment in Kenwood shouldn't be too difficult. Kenwood isn't too expensive, and it's pretty nice. Heck, you could easily just walk around looking for a place.
