The rental prices in Chicago have stayed relatively consistent over the past year, with a slight increase in the last three months due to spring and summer months coming up at the end of Q1. Spring and Summer have the highest turnover and increases in rents due to landlords not wanting leases to end in the winter months. First-ring neighborhoods and suburbs will cost more due to their distance from the city center. The median rent in Chicago is $1,900, which can be misleading when considering renting in those first-ring neighborhoods.
