About this rental
AVAILABLE SEPT. 1, 2026: No more tedious trips to the basement to do laundry! Goodbye grotty appliances! This two bedroom, potentially three bedroom/one bathroom apartment is undergoing a welcome upgrade with the installation of a full size washer/dryer and new stainless steel appliances (a microwave that vents out, dishwasher, gas stove, fridge and garbage disposal) in the eat-in kitchen. Located one block north of the University of Chicago campus, this apartment has 9' ceilings, hardwood floors and wonderful natural light. A private balcony and rear deck provide welcome outdoor space for the warm weather months. Future plans call for the addition of a ButterflyMX security system and Amazon Hub in the building. A parking space behind the building can be rented for $150 per month. Two Zip cars are available for rent as well. Rent includes heat and water. Tenant pays for cooking gas and electricity. Just one block to 172 bus and near the shops/eateries of Kimbark Plaza and 53rd St. Photos are of a similar unit in the same tier.

Rent calculator
Most owners want gross income of about 3× the monthly rent. Drop in your income to see where you land.
Bringing a roommate or co-signer? Add their income above — owners count combined household income toward the 3× rule.
This owner also looks for a credit score of 650+ (around the New Eastside average). Close on either number? A larger deposit or a guarantor usually does the trick — just ask Mino.

Where it is
FAQ
Where does this listing come from?
Straight from the Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED) MLS, refreshed regularly. This is an individually-owned condo the owner is leasing out, so lease terms and pet rules are set by the owner — we surface the specifics here and confirm before you tour.
Is there a broker fee?
No. Dibze represents you, the renter — not the owner. You won't pay us a broker fee, and there's no fee just to tour or apply.
How does the application work?
Start a rental application and we email you a secure link. A soft credit check to start; the per-adult screening fee isn't charged until the owner accepts your application.
