South Loop apartment update – modest price changes, $1,305 one-bedroom available

Last week we noted that the lowest-priced units rented out during the previous week at several South Loop apartment buildings.

There were only modest changes in the pricing and availability of South Loop apartments during the past holiday week, but one building – Park Michigan, 1212 S Michigan – did see a one-bedroom priced at $1,305 come available for February 5 occupancy. That’s nearly $200 below the next lowest-priced one-bedroom in the building. The new Snap Fitness center in the building recently took delivery of its cardio and strength equipment and free weights, and is scheduled to open within two weeks. Park Michigan is one of our sponsors.

If you want to rent in the South Loop, you can see all of your managed apartment building options on YoChicago’s South Loop availability list.

There are only a dozen large apartment complexes in the South Loop, and we’ve listed all of them in this Google spreadsheet, and checked what’s available for rent, and what the rents are, in 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 dogs subject, in some 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 where you can search MLS-listed condos and townhomes available for rent.

If you’ve been searching Craigslist for South Loop 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.

If you’re considering working with a rental service / finder, consider the twenty-five things rental services won’t tell you. Consult our do-not-call list for the rental services – virtually all of them – that engage in deceptive behavior, or worse.

We think there’s no faster or easier way to find your next apartment in the South Loop than our availability list. If you know someone who’s looking to rent in the South Loop, send them a link to this post or to the spreadsheet.
