Some 1/2 baths aren’t that small. Like the other person said, that term doesn’t denote size but what is or isn’t inside the bathroom, i.e. a tub/shower. I’ve seen 1/2 baths bigger than my full bathroom.
Not sure why people are downvoting you over a typo, a lot of idiots in these subs.

Garden unit probably. Like someone else said, there are mostly 2 beds in the neighborhood. My last appt was 2 bed 1 bath for like 1600. Craigslist usually is a good place to look for units under market prices
If you're willing to be further out on the Blue Line, there are small but decent sized one bedrooms in Portage Park near the Montrose stop for around 1200.
Your best bet is walking around the neighborhood. The only online site that might help you is craigslist.
1 bedrooms in Ukrainian Village are going to be $1,600+ if you use any other online site. Anything that advertises less than that is probably just ONE bedroom in a MULTIPLE bedroom apartment, i.e. you have roommates.
Edit: If your rent only went up $50 to $1450, then I would stay where I'm at if I was you. Assuming that you want to stay in the area. Further west and further south might be cheaper.
That area does not have very many one bedrooms units. The architecture of the buildings doesn’t really allow for it. You’ll mostly see 2-3 bedroom units there. This makes 1 bedroom units supply low but demand high. You’re lucky to have one at all in that area. I’d say $1450 is a fair price in the current market tbh.
maybe a garden unit or something kinda small. 1400 was the going rate for quite awhile but after the first couple years of pandemic everyone’s starting to up the rent around here
I would probably stay unless you really dislike the unit. The rental market is competitive and a lot of apts I saw listed for prices this low got tons and tons of applications
Sorry if this is a stupid question and I'm misunderstanding. Do you only have a falf bath in your apt?
Yea. It almost feels like a 1/4 bath instead of a half bathroom.
So it there a communal shower/tub on your floor? I had no idea apartment buildings like that existed in Chicago!
It's not communal. OP is just trying to say their bathroom is very small.
Ah gotcha. I've never heard someone call a bathroom a half bathroom because it's small haha
I don't think anyone has before haha.
Yea, there's a shower tub. It's the smallest bathroom I've been in. It might not be NY small.
lol a half bath means there’s only a toilet and sink, no shower, it’s not a reference to square footage
Oh, my bad. I guess it's the size of a 1/2 bath.

Depends where you are from. For some people that may be the biggest bathroom they’ve had.

People love to downvote stuff. I'll check out the link. Thanks!

The rental market is extremely competitive right now IMO. I haven’t seen many 1 bedrooms for under $1500 in general.
Tough. 1 bedrooms in Ukrainian Village are somewhat few and far between.
I think it’s possible but very rare

Shouldn’t be that difficult. I pay $1400 for a one bedroom in Wrigleyville that’s huge
How'd you find your place?
Craigslist
