Available on September 15 is a 1,000 square foot, two-bed, one bathroom unit on the 8th floor of one of Hyde Park's most well-located buildings, Star Tower. Star Tower is located just a block from the heart of Hyde Park, 53rd Street, and is within short walking distance of three full-service grocery stores and all of the great retail and restaurant amenities of Hyde Park. The building is located less than a mile from U of C's main campus, and features indoor bike parking, storage, on-site laundry, and a gym. Metra, CTA buses, and U of C campus shuttle services are all within a short walk of the unit.
This unit has seen many recent updates, including a bathroom renovation in 2025, new dark vinyl wood flooring in 2022, and a new refrigerator and induction stove in 2022 to round out the kitchen, and features new paint and beautiful light fixtures throughout. The large living room leaves plenty of room for hosting, studying, or relaxing and watching the sun set out of unimpeded western windows that line the unit. Both bedrooms are large, allowing for privacy from the world (or roommates) and allowing for plenty of room for all the furniture you could need. The northern-most bedroom has obscured views of downtown, but you can still see the majority of the skyline! The unit comes partially furnished with a Room & Board sofa for the living room.
Renter is responsible for electricity and internet. Pet policy is flexible. Landlords live in the neighborhood - very flexible and on-call. No smoking. Lease length flexible but to run at least through end of U of C school year.
