Renters can find apartments for rent that score high on value in this far north neighborhood of Chicago. Rogers Park apartments are primarily in vintage buildings, with the occasional mid-rise or 2-flat building thrown in for good measure. Spacious vintage apartments abound in courtyard-style buildings. There are also plenty of walk-ups, condos for rent, and single-family homes for rent that sit on quiet streets, many of which lead straight to beaches. This neighborhood has plenty of apartment options with tons of buildings. The size of rentals available is mostly studio, one bedroom, two bedroom, and a decent amount of 3 bedroom apartments. Four-bedroom apartments in Rogers Park tend to be more scarce. The best chances of finding more extensive floor plans are during the spring and summer.
Ever since the lakefront community of Rogers Park banned the construction of new high-rise buildings from preserving views of Lake Michigan, many of the vintage buildings have been, and continue to be, rehabbed into beautiful apartments. Thanks to Loyola University Chicago, a large student population resides in this Chicago neighborhood, around which restaurants, studio apartments for rent, and watering holes bloom. Some apartments for rent along Lake Michigan offer renters their private beach. How's that for an amenity?
