Highly recommended. The management, location and flexibility with lease duration are all excellent. I moved into Canterbury Court a little over a year ago after returning to my birthplace of Chicago after many years living abroad. I was initially drawn to the flexibility of their short-term leases, the outstanding walkability of the neighborhood, and the fact that basic furnishing and utilities are all included. I ended up staying here several months longer than I had anticipated, due to the flexibility and professionalism of management and the fact that this is one of a few remaining vintage high-rises in the area that is still truly family owned and operated. Canterbury Court is unparalleld in the features and amenities it offers newly arrived tenants who are either re-locating to Chicago from further afield, including students and international visitors, or those seeking more flexible lease terms than those that can be found elsewhere. The building is supremely walkable: it is less than two minutes to the 24-hour red line CTA service, only a couple minutes walk to the lakefront, and abundant grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants and nightlife are all just steps away. Moreover, in a rental landscape increasingly dominated by a handful of impersonal and highly bureaucratic property management groups, this is one of a few remaining high rises that is truly family owned and operated and where the landlord and family are readily available and highly responsive to any needs that may arise. This building is highly secure with a front desk that is staffed 24 hours a day, has surprisingly strong water pressure and abundant hot water for a 1920s-era building, and regular preventative pest control ensures that the building remains insect and vermin free year round- a rarity for many older rental buildings in Chicago. While people who intend to settle in Chicago permanently may find lower rental rates for 12-month leases in unfurnished units elsewhere in the city, the value for what is included along with flexible lease terms make this building a rarity for new arrivals to the city. All utilities, including very reliable high-speed internet are included in the price, and the furnishings in all units are sufficient even for long-term tenancy, as evidenced by a number of tenants who continue to renew their leases. The building is also full of character, including original vintage elevators, ceiling fans in every bedroom, high ceilings, and large spacious closets. But it is the management and staff that really make this place special and differentiate it from the large, bureaucratic property management groups like BJB. Overall, I highly recommend Canterbury Court for anyone re-locating to Chicago from far away, or anyone seeking a flexible, furnished apartment with a family-owned touch.
