Where do rising stars in Chicago rent? The Lofts at Roosevelt wins city award ‘mid-rise urban hip’
Lofts at Roosevelt Collection enjoy neighborhood view of Sears Tower
Young up and coming actors and starlets working in and around the Chicago area who are looking to find great rental homes while they are working in the area on extended live theater and television set or movie production shows can have a hard time knowing the best places in the city to go. If your child is thinking of relocating for a career move to the windy city and they don’t know a soul, ask them to have their Realtor give the Lofts at Roosevelt Collection a show. The planned urban development (PUD) neighborhood just issued a press release that their units are going from being condos for sale to upscale rental. Knowing that location, location, location is everything, the ritzy diggs are located in the South Loop area of Chicago. [For those unfamiliar with Barak Obama and Oprah Winfrey's home territory stomping grounds, the "Loop" is the above ground metro train system that rings 'round the town. Commuters coming from the 'burbs often take the Loop into office complexes and retail shopping areas in the heart of downtown in order to avoid making the congested rush hour traffic drive.] The community may just be the right sort of area for up and coming new residents to rent for a bot while they learn their way around the greater Chicago metropolitan area and give them an each spot to live where they can catch a flight back to LAX, IAD, DCA, TPA, or NYC from the O’hare Airport.
