11 Cheapest Places to Rent an Apartment in Illinois

If you are searching for a new apartment, I can tell you that it isn't easy.

Just a few months ago I went apartment shopping with my best friend as she was looking for a place to live. There are many things that can determine where you choose to rent.

Maybe central air is included, you can grill on the balcony, a fitness center is included... whatever the reason may be, finding the perfect place can be tough.

I don't know about all of your needs and wants in your apartment, but if you are anything like me, you probably want to save a bit of money.

Depending on where you live, you could be spending a lot more than you want to!
