Description

Before spending time on the phone, or showing the apt., I ask everyone to email me for a short questionnaire, that has a few questions about your income, credit, and rental history. I prefer to save both of us time, by getting this first. And if everything looks good, we schedule meeting,and showing you the apt! Email me for it.
You can also fill out an application, here in the listing, which would be faster and easier, and sending the appication does not obligate you in any way. It's only for information purposes.

All these utilities included in the rent: Electricity! + great filtered water + Heat + Gas + Air conditioner + 500Mbps fast internet! If you paid separately for these, they would cost $50 - $100 per month more!
Apt. is available for rent to ONE person ONLY and there are NO pets allowed.
I prefer a non smoker, but may consider a smoker who only smokes outside.

This apt. is on the 2nd fl. of my older home, in a quiet residential area near River Rd. and Touhy ave., in Des Plaines, Il. I live on the 1st fl. with my wife, and we have another tenant in a lower level apt.
It is a 3 room / 1 bdrm apt. of about 700 sq.ft. + full bathroom. The 3 rooms are in the pictures.
 Here is a virtual tour of the apt.
Parking is on our quiet street, just on the other side of our next-door-neighbor, with plenty of parking.

We are only 1 block from I-294, & I-90 & The Kennedy Expy; We're on several Pace bus routes; We're only 8 blks. away from the blue line cta train, and a bus at the corner will take you there, or the several blocks in the other direction, to the Metra. And ... we're just a 20 min. drive to O'Hare Airport!

I'm a water expert and have purified, filtered water running thru the whole house: for drinking, cooking, and showering! So, you won't have to buy any more bottled water to drink either! Because you can drink this straight from the faucet. And, this purified water for your shower, with all the chlorine removed, will make your skin and hair feel better than it ever has!

This will be for a 1 yr. lease. Last month's rent will also be due at signing. This guarantees security deposit will not be used for rent. And if apt. returned clean without damage, etc., security is returned no problem.
