Some of you know I've been trying to sell my house, well the market is saturated, with 40some houses in my neighborhood alone and roughly 300some in Aurora itself, theres simply too much of a choice for homes, so I'm trying to rent. The house is still listed for-sale, but if I get a renter in contract I'll pull it off the market, or if it sells, I'll stop trying to rent it out.

I compared prices around the area of Aurora (Naperville, Oswego, Plainfield, Lisle, etc) for roughly the same spec apartment/townhome/house to come up with the price, so if you want to look for yourself go ahead and check.

Here's the listing from Craigslist:

Just getting it out there for now.

here is the craigslist listing, it's only there for a week so I'll have to keep re-posting it.

Greg knows me pretty well and I think he can/will vouch for me? I havn't visited back here in quite some time but I've attended quite a few PCA Lans in the past and met quite a bit of you.

Just thought I'd toss this out there before I started hitting the pay sites for rental properties.

if anyone is interested in buying/renting, please feel free to ask.

wood floors are cool !

wow 1400 a month! in this area houses like that are 900 a month, I am not moving to Illinois lol

hehe, good luck though

Funny, I was just going to mention that. I actually own one that looks very similar, but larger. Though, I do give credit for nice lamps & shades.

yea, our area is expensive.

lol "Upgraded Fixtures" = home depot clearance + friends employee discount!


and yeah, no fooling on the price, while searching for a range, I found several 800-900sq ft 2 bedroom apartments, (no garage, 2nd and 3rd floor, no utils) going for $1300!!!

And what strikes me as even odder is that people PAY for that!
