What’s for rent in River North, including a 3-bedroom penthouse

A rare 2,216 square foot 3-bedroom, 3-bath penthouse at The Chicagoan, 750 N Rush, became available during the past week. I was in that unit back in 1990 while it was still being completed, and recall a dramatic 2-story living room with a loft area. The view is similar to the view below, shot from the 44th floor of Park Tower. The rent: $7,466 a month.

If you want to rent an apartment in River North, you can see all of your managed apartment building options on YoChicago’s availability list, below.

There are currently only thirteen large apartment complexes in River North, and we’ve listed all of them in this Google spreadsheet, and checked what’s available for rent, and what the rents are, in almost all of them. The spreadsheet is accurate as of the close of business yesterday. Rents listed are for 12-month leases for apartments available now through next month. All of the buildings accept cats, and all but three accept dogs subject, in most cases, to weight and breed restrictions.

Our spreadsheet contains links to each building, links to videos where available, and links to near real-time availability checks for the buildings that offer that feature. The spreadsheet, which is updated weekly, also has links to several reputable major brokerage sites (clients of our parent firm) where you can search MLS-listed condos and townhomes available for rent. Beyond those options there are only a few small rental buildings in River North, with rare availabilities.

If you’ve been searching Craigslist for River North apartments you already know you’re wasting a lot of time and encountering a lot of bait-and-switch ads. You’re unlikely to find anything at Craigslist that you won’t find through Yo’s list.
