This second-floor rear 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment in Bronzeville offers a freshly updated interior with high ceilings, real hardwood floors, central air, gas forced-air heat, modern lighting, and an in-unit washer and dryer. The updated kitchen features white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances including a refrigerator, oven/range, and microwave; please note, there is no dishwasher. The bathroom has also been updated with modern finishes, and the unit includes a rear porch. One important thing to understand about the layout is that this is more of a traditional shotgun-style apartment, so the kitchen and living area share the same main space rather than having a completely separate living room. A few listing photos have been virtually staged with furniture to show how the space can function as both an eat-in kitchen and a comfortable living area. The layout is unique and somewhat compact, so this apartment is best suited for someone who is comfortable with that shared living/kitchen setup and values the location, newer finishes, central air, hardwood floors, and especially the convenience of in-unit laundry. Water, exterior maintenance, lawn care, snow removal, and trash collection are included in the monthly rent. There is no private or dedicated parking, so residents should plan to use street parking. The property is professionally managed under new ownership and continues to receive ongoing improvements. Renters insurance and lease protection insurance are required. The application fee is $40 per applicant and is non-refundable and includes credit, background, income, and rental history verification. No security deposit is required; instead, prorated first month's rent and a $450 non-refundable move-in fee are due at move-in. Qualifications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, though we generally look for a minimum 650 credit score and household income of at least 2.5 times the monthly rent. Some listing photos have been rendered to show the anticipated finished condition of the unit.
