East vs. West: the $700 apartment

What does $700 get you in a Chicago apartment? On craigslist, it gets you this one-bedroom at 1414 N Lawler Ave (above) in the heart of North Austin, on the West Side. The same price will get you a smaller unit a block from the lake and Lincoln Park.

This studio at 2738 N Pine Grove Ave is renting for $655 in Lincoln Park. The ad notes “plenty of storage area.” Here’s some of it (or all of it; it is a studio) pictured below.
