The Buildings
“Every Chicago apartment search should 100% start here“
Well, we certainly agree there. Why? This is a searchable directory of 290 apartment buildings in Chicago, with 79,170 apartments between them. Each building has its own profile page with units, year built, floors, amenities, pet policy and the nearest CTA station. When we can’t confirm a fact, we leave it blank. “Best of luck guys, I hope you find your place”, Joe

Our plan
We’re building Chicago’s most complete apartment building dataset.
Our team is asking the buildings themselves to confirm their facts, fill the gaps and send real photos, to get every listing as close to 100% as possible. Nothing made up, ever.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the information come from?
From the building’s own website, its management company, or a major listing service’s page for that address. Nothing is estimated. A blank field means the detail hasn’t been confirmed.
Does the directory show rents or availability?
No. Rents, availability and concessions change constantly, so they aren’t published here. Contact the building’s leasing office for current figures.
Are buildings ranked or paid to be listed?
No. Buildings aren’t scored or ranked, and no building pays to be listed.
How do I report a correction?
Email chicagoapartmentbuildings@gmail.com with the building name and what needs changing. Manage a building? See our letter to building teams.
