Chicago Rent Budget
How much should I spend on rent as a FT analyst starting summer 2026. Heard to look in River North or West Loop/Fulton Market but am curious to see what others have been paying recently and details such as bedrooms, roommates, building names, etc.
wolf point studio at mid 2000s if closer to loop, or onechicago if u wanna be further and can get ur hands on a unit
wolf point east* not west. west is for g33ks
I would recommend River North and Gold Coast/Old Town. Wrigleyville is also fun. West Loop is nice but unnecessarily expensive. Not a lot of "neighborhood spots" in West Loop which can make it harder to meet people. Just my 2 cents.
Generally, you probably want to be around a younger crowd if you don't already have a bunch of friends in the city.
If you don't need a ton of amenities, there are a lot of options in those neighborhoods for a 1 bed / 1 bath below $2k/mo.
