Tips For Finding Chicago Corporate Housing

By Rosemary McDonough


Finding a place to stay in the Windy City is easy, but the problem is that there are a ton of lodging options to choose from. Even for those looking specifically for Chicago corporate housing, there is a lot of choice. The location and price are obviously important, but so is the space available and the kind of amenities and facilities on offer.

The best way to start hunting down the right rental is to zero in on a location. Business executives visiting the city for short-term or extended stays usually prefer to stay in or close to the Loop. Other areas worth taking a look at include the Near North Side, Near South Side and Near West Side.

These four areas together make up Chicago's downtown. Most people who need short-term rentals for a couple of weeks or months will be staying somewhere in one of these neighborhoods. It puts them close to all the major offices and meetings spaces and reduces commute hassles.

It is also right in the middle of downtown's urban pleasures and entertainment watering holes. The only other point worth mentioning here is to look for a place close to the waterfront. It makes good sense not just because of the view, but also on account of the direct access to lakeshore bike paths and other waterfront facilities.

Another factor that makes the Loop an appealing prospect is direct access to the vast open spaces and verdant greenery of Grant Park. Of course, everybody needs to find a location that is ideal for their planned activities while they are in the city. Once a specific locality is chosen, the price for properties within it will vary based on the size and the apartment type. It can be a studio, or have one to three bedrooms.

Almost every property has Wi-Fi, along with HD TV sets with cable in every bedroom and the living room. There should be at least one DVD player and music system. Unlimited local calls are commonly allowed. A renter can expect to have everything from a washer/dryer to a fully equipped bath and kitchen with all the necessary utilities and appliances.

Make sure to ask about common use facilities such as parking. Families with children and pets should also enquire about pet policies and on-call availability of housekeepers and staff for any other services that may required, such as nannies and drivers. Follow these simple tips to find corporate housing, and it will make a stay in Chicago convenient and memorable.
