How To Find The Right Chicago Corporate Housing

By Rosemary McDonough


Finding a place to stay in the Windy City is easy, but the problem is that there are a ton of lodging options to choose from. Even for those looking specifically for Chicago corporate housing, there is a lot of choice. The location and price are obviously important, but so is the space available and the kind of amenities and facilities on offer.

A good place to start is the choice of location. A lot of business executives in Chicago prefer to stay in the Loop, or at least close to it. Other areas worth looking at nearby include the Near South Side, Near North Side and Near West Side.

These four areas together make up Chicago's downtown. Most people who need short-term rentals for a couple of weeks or months will be staying somewhere in one of these neighborhoods. It puts them close to all the major offices and meetings spaces and reduces commute hassles.

It is also right in the middle of downtown's urban pleasures and entertainment watering holes. The only other point worth mentioning here is to look for a place close to the waterfront. It makes good sense not just because of the view, but also on account of the direct access to lakeshore bike paths and other waterfront facilities.

Of course, the Loop offers proximity to the vast open space of Grant Park. The choice of location ultimately has to be made based on what the visitor plans to do in town on a daily basis after renting the place. As far as the price is concerned, the main factor is the size of the home. Common options include a studio apartment or those offering one, two or three bedrooms.

Almost every property in Chicago that is listed as available for short-term rentals offers unlimited local calls and wireless internet, in addition to HD TV with cable in all the bedrooms and the living room. Renters may expect to see DVD players, music systems and washer/dryers. Fully equipped baths and kitchens with all the appliances and utilities one needs in a home will be provided.

Make sure to ask about common use facilities such as parking. Families with children and pets should also enquire about pet policies and on-call availability of housekeepers and staff for any other services that may required, such as nannies and drivers. Follow these simple tips to find corporate housing, and it will make a stay in Chicago convenient and memorable.
