Another thread about rentals in Carbondale (or Marion) also... tax rates in IL? (sales)

[EVAunit1981]

I'm applying to SIU. I've never been to Carbondale and know absolutely nothing about the area other than what I've read online here and heard.

I'm looking for a rental in either Carbondale or Marion. Today I'm really just wanting to know about how much rentals cost. Specifically I want to know how much a 1000-1200 sq. ft. house in a decent part of town not very far from SIU would run.

Or a house in the country between Carbondale and Marion.

Also, I'd like some websites with pictures and prices if you know of any at all.

EDIT: Also, what are the state income tax and sales tax rates? I'm a native Tennessean and am not used to income tax.

Our income tax is 3% sales tax is 7.75% that's all I know hope this helps

I know it's old but I just found this thread and figured I'd throw my .02 in case you haven't found a place yet. I live in Carbondale. Rent is very cheap here, but beware of the fact that some places are in need of maintenance. I'd check www.carbondalerent.com.
