Keep your eyes fixed on River West, an expansive neighborhood that’s quickly becoming a hotspot for Chicago renters. The area is situated just west of the Chicago River and bounded by the Kennedy Expressway to the north and south, and Chicago Avenue to the north. There has been a surge of revitalization and renovation efforts in this charming Windy City locale. Classic Chicago style can be found in River West’s mid-rise brick buildings, apartments, and brownstone-style townhomes. There’s a burgeoning restaurant scene on the western side of the neighborhood near the expressway, complete with craft cocktail lounges and nightlife options for those who like to experience the city after dark.
Renters love River West because of its relatively quiet atmosphere. The biggest draw, however, is the area’s ease of accessibility in relation to the rest of Chicago. The Blue Line will carry you into the southwest portion of the city or out to Chicago O’Hare International. The expressway makes short work of a commute for those with cars too, and the area is extremely bike-friendly.
As of April 2025, the average apartment rent in River West is $2,014 for a studio, $2,600 for one bedroom, $3,524 for two bedrooms, and $5,132 for three bedrooms. Apartment rent in River West has increased by 2.6% in the past year.
