  • This is a tour of my TINY 450 square foot one bedroom apartment in Lincoln Park, Chicago. Make sure you watch until the end where I share with you how much I pay per month for this tiny Chicago apartment.
    UPDATE - Moved into a NEW Chicago apartment in July 2020 - • LINCOLN PARK CHICAGO A...
    Lincoln Park is one of Chicago's most prestigious neighborhoods with an amazing location and so many things to do.
    Would you live in an apartment that was less than 500 square feet? What did you think of my Chicago apartment tour?

      True 😅 Honestly it never felt small to me, with the layout of the unit and everything. However, when I would tell family & friends who live in suburbs about it, they thought I was crazy for paying "that much" for such a "small space". I told them it's all about my location lol.
      After I moved out of this unit, they renovated it again and now it's a studio I believe.

    I love the tile in the bathroom. So typical of Chicago. I would definitely pay the 12 - it looks like a practical layout. Seems cozy and you’ve designed it in such a way that it appears larger than it actually is. Also the Windows and amount of sun ☀️ you get in is amazing and so vital. Love it.

    When I stayed at an AirBnB in Lincoln Park last year, it didn't seem too much bigger than yours but managed the space relatively better. I checked out another unit for rent in the same building with the same floor plan and it was something like $1400/mo

    • @LuisGustoComedy
      @LuisGustoComedy  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That's probably my biggest issue with this apartment, the layout is unique but kinda wacky. It's a direct result of the changes they made about 50 years ago when they divided a larger apartment into two smaller ones. What really put it over the top for me was the immense amount of natural light and the somewhat recent renovation. 😎

    I believe rent is too high everywhere and it would be nice if we could find some relief from the high cost of rent in studios and small apartments but they too are pretty high these days. On a short term basics I think it's great but short term often turns into long term when it comes to renting🙂

    Do people in Chicago call it a washroom too? I thought only us Canadians do that. I remember being in a big synagogue in New York and I asked where the washroom was and people didn't know what I meant. When I explained, they thought it was really quaint and told each other about the Canadian who calls a bathroom "the washroom."
