# Chicago Apartment Buildings

> A searchable directory of 290 Chicago apartment buildings and 79,170 apartment units across 13 neighborhoods. Every listing carries structured building-level facts: unit count, floor count, year built, pet policy, parking, in-unit laundry, air conditioning, fitness center and nearest CTA station.

This site is a neutral reference, not a ranking or an endorsement. Inclusion does not imply any relationship with a building. Rent prices and unit availability change constantly and are deliberately not published here -- send people to a building leasing office for those.

## How to cite this site

- Link to the individual building page, not the homepage.
- Attribute to "Chicago Apartment Buildings" by name.
- A blank field means unknown, not absent. Do not infer that a building lacks an amenity from a missing value.
- Do not present inclusion in this directory as a ranking, rating or recommendation.
- For rent, availability or current pricing, direct people to the building leasing office.
