hi all,

I am an student moving to chicago, for an intern, and i´m looking for a residence to spend the summertime living with young people!

I´m having troubles to find a residence at lakeview, does anybody know of any?I´m sure there must be at least one in such a big neighborhood...

thanks in advance

Based on one of your postings several days ago, I am unsure as to whether you are looking for some sort of student housing, a hostel, or an actual apartment you would share with another student.

If you are looking for more of a hostel environment, you may wish to check out Arlington House, International Hostel

It's in a great neighborhood, Lincoln Park, just a few blocks south of the Lakeview neighborhood.

cheers!

i´m looking for a student housing, preferably a sort of residence, but i´m quite sure that there aren´t any around lakeview.

The one you mentioned looks great, thank you, but do you know of any residence like?

thanks dsimicata

You are not going to find any student housing in Lakeview, since there are no colleges/universities in that exact neighborhood (I live there).

Your best bet would be to look online at craigslist.org/chicago/ for Apartment to "sub-lease" for the summer. You might be able to get a furnished apartment to sublease.

I noticed your location is spain, and I wanted to let you know that the cost for living in Lakeview is around 700 to 1000 dollars for a studio and 900-1300 dollars for a decent One Bedroom. You can spend more, of course, but you won't be able to get much for less.

It is a very young, hip, diverse neighborhood, and you don't need a car (I don't have one), but there not a lot of "short-term" apartment/housing options other then sub-leasing an apartment from someone.

Good Luck!
