Hi my name is Caira Button and I am a 27 year old who makes videos about tips, tricks, and organization for small space living. I love the minimalist, feminine, clean vibe. I have kept the decor pretty neutral adding a bit of mid century modern & LOTS of plants. I hope my advice is able to help you in your journey! - บันเทิง
I just moved out of Chicago and used Caira as a resource when living there so just wanted to put that out there for any viewers - she is AWESOME!
I personally would totally pick 6 because of the kitchen and dining space being separate. That’s insane for a studio. Best of luck to anybody searching in chicago!
May I ask why you moved ??
I like how honest you are. You mention the a missing microwave, how your camera makes the apartment look bigger than it is, how the dishwasher may not open all the way because of the space, etc. Thanks for the great apartment videos!
Someone recommended you to me and I never realized I’d watch your videos before! Moving next year to Chicago and I appreciate these video so much! Thank you :)
I liked the last two best as well!! I really liked this video😄 as someone who is considering a move to Chi w/ a very small budget, this was helpful!
I was able to get a gorgeous 1br with updated appliances, in unit washer and dryer, and a massive double sink bathroom for 1380 just north of Pilsen! Thank god I looked for apartments about two months ago because apartment prices seem to be crazy now! Thanks for the updated look into the housing market!
I like that last one
First off, I gotta say I absolutely love your channel, especially all the pointers and tips you give regarding small space storage, furniture, etc. However, I can’t help but notice any apt complexes pass the south-loop aren’t mentioned. I’m not sure if compass just doesn’t cover the Southside area, but there’s definitely more affordable units and complexes out this way in thriving communities. I’d love to see more complexes out this way. So for anyone looking into Chicago there are places with price points below 1,500 for great 1-2 bedroom units.
Compass does cover it! But most agents just specialize in different areas, so I really do south loop up to uptown, Streeterville to Logan square. I honestly just don’t know the areas further south very well but I have agents on my team who do that can always help out!!
Love seeing some budget options!!!
Great video! I love apartment hunting and finding out their going prices. And Chicago is a city I am considering moving to. I’m also thinking about becoming a leasing agent. My favorite of these is between apartment 5 and 6.
I’m moving to Chicago in July of next year. I’m looking at Old Town Park. My hope is that the One Chicago tower is completed by then.
Hi Caira! Is the guitar playing at the end of your videos from a specific song? It's so relaxing 👏😀
Thank you, very informative!
Wow! I feel spoiled with my apartment in Atlanta compared to what you can get in Chicago. I know the cities are not comparable. I pay $1360 for a high end apartment. I would love to live in Chicago one day and I know I'd have to pay close to 2k for what I have now. Love these kinds of vids!!
Now, it's August 2022 and there aren't any 1 bedrooms in Atlanta for less than $1500.
@@Fifth.Amendment You can definitely still find nice 1BR apartment in Chicago.
I loooooove looking at apartments
Apartment 4 for sure, I can work my way to in unit laundry and ac system.
Super fun video! Would love to see you show more from the Logan Square and Avondale areas! Super amazing parts of the city and more affordable. We got a 2 bed apartment with central air, laundry in basement, and garage parking for 1550. So many great deals in this area and still easy to get around via blue line.
Really? My budget is $2100 and we are finding it difficult to get a decent place.
Most of the apartments around my street are for 1400-1700. We are in a smaller building so I wonder if that helps? Good luck with your search, I hope you find something great! 😊
I love these videos! I feel like I need to say that I have a 2 bedroom in lincoln square for $1,500!
I I throughly enjoy watching your videos. You have also gotten better at them, though still speak way too fast. (That must be a leasing/rental person thing, cause everyone of speaks that way.)
Thank you for doing these. Does Chiago still have SRO's?
If my lease was up right now, I would totally want #5 or #6!!
Hm this was really interesting! I guess I was lucky to find my lil studio for $850. But it didn't seem like there super hard to find? lol, Anyways I love this video, Ciara. I'd love to see more!
Little puppy peeking its head out at 8:49 🐶
Apt. # three definitely!
But I have a two bedroom house with a two car garage and a fenced in back yard for under 700.00 a month. Of course I live about 2 hours south of Chicago hahahah
In some areas, parking is included. At least the ones I looked at. It real depends on the apartment.
Can you do more of these again please
I preferred the Lincoln Park units
What are the cheapest apt price in River north and the Loop areas?
Love your videos Caira! I guess I got lucky, i just moved in to a Jr. Bedroom, basically a studio with a den space for a bed and my closet is actually huge, good size bathroom and all for 875$ in uptown, amazing location too, sounds insane to me that someone would pay 1.300$ a month on a studio that doesnt even have washer and dryer inside of the apartment lol .
Oh wow, that's so awesome for you though!! It does tend to get a bit pricier the closer you get to downtown!
hi! Im looking to move soon, and uptown is one of the spaces I am considering due to it being more affordable. How did you go about finding your space?
Last one!
She’s too restrictive with the neighborhoods. You can go up to Edgewater or Rogers Park and save a few hundred a month to get a nicer place. Or find areas with their own sets of restaurants and bars, like Lincoln Square, Roscoe Village, and even Edison Park all the way on the NW side. The key is finding areas with great transit options, like easy access to the L or on a Metra line.
I agree as I have a 1 bedroom, 600 sq ft, and a 3 minute walk from the Brown Line train in Ravenswood/Lincoln Square area for $1,010. Did I mention all utilities except internet is included?
I think the reason why she concentrates on these neighborhoods is because she goes by the requests of her clients. I remember her saying the guests would tell her where they would want to live, so she concentrates there.
The last unit that is the most broken up one!
Do you help with apartments in the suburbs too?
Great video! Do you find that these apartments are particular to those areas because they are two of the more expensive areas in Chicago? If you went north or west, do you think you could get something with more updated appliances / amenities? Just curious!
Going north is not going to help much, since those neighborhoods, like Uptown and Edgewater are rapidly gentrifying and everything being built are luxury apartments/condos. Rogers Park or West Ridge have some affordably options, but you would be pretty far north. There are still deals to be found in all these areas, but that will depend on what you are looking for. Super updated is going to cost you no matter where you're at. I would recommend renting out a condo unit. I have found those to be the best bang for your buck. Going west wouldn't help at all unless she went pretty far west, or north west towards O'hare airport. West of Lakeview and Lincoln Park still puts you in expensive neighborhoods, especially west of Lincoln Park.
I know Lakeview/Buena Park/East wrigley has high rise apartment options ( under or around 2000/1500 ) but some of those buildings are old ( around 1970’s )
They all upgrade the commons areas. They do have water shutoffs. ( old pipes ) Emergency construction. And just little annoyances a newer building won’t have.
Great area though. Express bus routes if you’re closer to lake shore. Cta Red line. Night life. Food spots. Entertainment. Lake shore park.
Hey Ciara, I have followed your channel for a couple of months now, I have watched a couple of apt hunting videos, I am planning to move to Chicago this year, since you mentioned prices are gone up high, so do you work with other Chicago areas or suburbs, besides lakeside /loop/north?? 🙂 if not, please I will thank you if you refer me with somebody that does.
Yes absolutely! Email me! Caira.button@compass.com
Can you do a video for $2000/month 1 bedroom apartments? Thanks!
Yes!! This one will definitely be next
Whats the complex name of the 1st and 2nd apartment?
Awesome video! I just uploaded some Chicago luxury apartment tours too 🖤🖤
You can get places for that or less in Ukrainian village, Humboldt Park, and the West Loop/EAst Garfield border.
It's a little disheartening to hear how expensive housing has gotten as someone currently looking to move to Chicago in the upcoming months. Do you think rent is going to continue to increase even into the fall and winter?
You and me both, hyperinflation is real these days. I believe it will only get worse with the Delta variant of Covid-19 driving the demand for housing up.
It will be at it cheapest during the winter time.
You can definitely find similar or bigger places for cheaper if you move outside of these “sought after” neighborhoods. Pilsen, Bridgeport, McKinley Park are all still really nice
I feel the same honestly it's like if u want something really nice it's going to cost at least 3k
@@CreatingHannah honestly even the midway area isn’t bad. Better than mickinly or pulsen. It’s mostly homes though. Some three floor apartments. No high rises.
Pilsen has night life and central area.
Depends in mickinly
If anyone is feeling discouraged, i pay $1400 for a one bed in Lincoln park, with slightly renovated kitchen, AC (laundry on 1st floor) with a small dining area off the kitchen. That being said though, i got this apartment in March & got 1 month off rent.
I am and my budget is 2100 for 2bd 2ba.
@@selenat264 are you looking for a luxury high rise?
@@vanessagaleano2834 I want a nice size place in a safe neighborhood. Somw utilities included. Not really luxury, more so nice clean, safe and in a walkable areas.
Prices were definitely a whole lot better in March than they are now! Not saying it’s impossible to find one beds for that price point but it is so tough and the market is so hot that it is really really really tough lol.
@@selenat264 You're going to need to add a good $500-$1,000 to your budget to get that in the neighborhoods that fit your criteria. If you manage to find one at that price, almost certainly you will be responsible for all your utilities except water. I would suggest looking into renting out a condo unit. You will stand a better chance of having your heat, cable and internet included if you can find one in your price point.
Are you a rental realtor? I’m moving to Chicago in about august/ September where can I reach out?
Yes! Feel free to email me Caira.button@compass.com
Can u please help me find an apartment !
New to the city, how do I get ahold of you?
Welcome to Chicago! If you're looking for an apartment, I have my Jotform linked in my description box and if not, my Instagram is also linked 😊
I should have watched this video before i accepted that job. Looks like you need to make 100k plus to live here.
I don't see your leasing email. I have been trying to contact you for a while.
Ooops just added!! My email is caira.button@compass.com
@@CairaButton sent you an email from my job. Thanks
Firsht
😔
Why am I looking only at 25% of the apartment? AND 75% you? Do you come over 75% of the time? NO THANKS!!
Phone’s film in 16:9 aspect ratio. So it can only take up a third of the screen otherwise you would have to watch it sideways.
In her future videos she films in other aspect ratios to correct for this.
