Tips For Finding Chicago Corporate Housing

By Rosemary McDonough


While finding decent accommodations is a breeze in the Windy City, there's a bit of a problem of plenty. Even in the case of those who are specifically seeking only Chicago corporate housing, it can be a challenge to choose the right property out of thousands of listings. Price and location are no doubt primary factors, but within those parameters it's important to get a place offering adequate space and all the facilities and amenities one expects in a home.

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 three and the Loop together constitute downtown Chicago. Most anyone in need of short-term or extended stay rentals will likely prefer to be in this part of the city. It vastly reduces the need for a daily commute, and makes it easy to go to and fro between the home and office or meetings.

People staying here will be slam-bang in the middle of all the urban pleasures, culture and entertainment offered by one of the world's most vibrant cities. Another point worth remembering is to look for a property as close to the waterfront as possible. It's not just about the view, but also direct access to bike paths by the lakeshore and other such facilities along the waterfront.

Of course, the Loop offers proximity to the vast open space of Grant Park. The choice of location ultimately has to be made based on what the visitor plans to do in town on a daily basis after renting the place. As far as the price is concerned, the main factor is the size of the home. Common options include a studio apartment or those offering one, two or three bedrooms.

Almost every property in Chicago that is listed as available for short-term rentals offers unlimited local calls and wireless internet, in addition to HD TV with cable in all the bedrooms and the living room. Renters may expect to see DVD players, music systems and washer/dryers. Fully equipped baths and kitchens with all the appliances and utilities one needs in a home will be provided.

It's important to ask beforehand about parking and other common use facilities. A family with children and a pet may also want to find out about the landlord's pet policy and availability of housekeepers and other staff such as drivers and nannies. Follow this simple checklist to find the right corporate housing in Chicago and make the stay comfortable and hassle-free.
