Now leasing for NEXT Fall 2026 (August start date but flexible to meet your needs).
One of our best 1-bedroom units has become available unexpectedly for the first time in years!
This gorgeous 1-bedroom unit in the historic Kuhns mansion is essentially 1/2 of the second floor, just over 700 square feet. It has a huge 19' x 13' living room, a just-remodeled 13' x 12' kitchen with dishwasher & gas range, a large bathroom with clawfoot tub (and shower adapter), and a private 13' x 11' bedroom. Need storage? How about two huge bonus closets, a full pantry closet in the kitchen, and a closet in the bedroom!
The Kuhns Mansion (circa 1880) overlooks West Side Park in downtown, Champaign and is easy walking distance to downtown's pubs, restaurants, cafes, shopping, and entertainment. You're about a mile from the Engineering campus straight down University Avenue. Busses? Yellow, orange, green, gray, brown, and lavender all pick up and drop off within a block! There's off- street parking if you need it, on-site, tenant-only laundry. So what's a dream unit like this go for? For you, just $999 per month. And that includes water, garbage/recycling, AND heat in the winter. This unit is available for the first time in nearly 3 years and it's not going to last.
