Review from the web

I used to live in Regents Park. I found the flat on their website before arriving in Chicago. Love at the first sight. I was on the lake front as you can see from the picture. I left when they were improving the structure. I was very happy there and I missed a place like that. All the staff were charming and friendly. I felt safe for all the years spent there. If I had the chance to go back to Chicago again, is there that I want to live again.

Methodology: How we got this data

Zumper’s proprietary rental data fuels our analysis. Rent and market trends, availability, neighborhood popularity, and lifestyle scores are all calculated using real-time and 2024 rental inventory and prices.

Our Lifestyle Categories ("great for eco-living," "great for social life," "great for pet owners," etc.) are determined by set criteria, against which we score each listing and its available features. At the neighborhood level, we calculate the listing count for each category to determine which lifestyles best fit each area.

Zumper, founded in 2012, is North America’s largest privately-owned rental platform, offering over 1 million listings across the U.S. and Canada. Stay informed on the latest trends and shifts in the rental market with our monthly National Rent Report, your go-to resource for key insights into the evolving rental landscape.
