If one keeps tidy and well-organized, the studios and one-bedroom apartments at McClurg Court will maximize space and provide excellent views of Chicago. The units come replete with updated kitchen appliances and a slew of building amenities that are hard to deny. There's a shopping concourse with a 24-hour convenience store, a gym, bank, dry cleaner and even a dentist to keep your teeth clean. Dogs are welcome, the sundeck is huge and there is an indoor tennis court. What more could you need?
Despite being one of Chicago's priciest neighborhoods, a construction boom over the years has left Streeterville as one of the city's most vacant as well. And this puts renters in a good spot. Apartments in the area are plentiful and, as long as they're not getting filled, prices will remain relatively cheap. Streeterville will likely never match the bang-for-your-buck prices of Bridgeport or Edgewater, but those neighborhoods also aren't a five-minute walk from the Magnificent Mile, and near the first Target to serve wine and beer in its store.
