Load moreWhile the rental scene in Illinois is centered around the Chicago metro area, there’s inventory in smaller neighborhoods and college towns throughout the state. Demand for Illinois rentals is fueled by the corporate and healthcare job markets, agricultural industries, and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Northwestern University. Overall, the most expensive houses for rent in Illinois are in the North Side, as well as suburban areas like Evanston and Oak Park. The price gap between these high-demand areas and more affordable markets, like Rockford and Decatur, can be over $1,000/mo. In prime areas near the northern urban core, rural neighborhoods down south, and everywhere in between, Rentler lists 11,875 rental properties across Illinois — updated daily as new inventory hits the market.

| Chicago | $1,939/mo | $2,396/mo | $2,735/mo |
| Rockford | $960/mo | $1,007/mo | $1,260/mo |
| Springfield | $945/mo | $792/mo | $1,030/mo |

The best way to find affordable rentals in Illinois is to focus on low-cost residential pockets outside of the main Chicagoland metro. For example, Rockford and Peoria have low rents, and they’re a great fit for commuters who work in manufacturing or healthcare. Renters who prefer living in a small city can find cheap apartments in Illinois around Decatur. Additionally, college renters attending Southern Illinois University can find affordable apartments in Illinois throughout the Carbondale area. These areas typically have price points that are $500–$1,500/mo less than comparable units in more expensive areas. While many different types of renters can find inexpensive Illinois rentals, hybrid and remote workers have the most flexibility since they’re not tied to a daily commute.
When searching for pet-friendly apartments, Illinois renters should be mindful of breed and weight restrictions. However, renters may have an easier time finding houses or Illinois townhouse rentals that accept pets, including large dogs — especially if the property has a yard. Besides asking the landlord or rental manager about their specific policies, it’s a good idea to inquire about local dog parks, vets, and groomers in the area. If you’re looking in urban areas, apply early to get ahead of the competition. And remember, you may be exempt from pet rent and restrictions if you have a service animal or an emotional support animal (ESA).
In terms of senior housing, Illinois rentals include many age-restricted options. From senior-oriented properties to hands-on assisted living facilities and independent living options, some of the best areas to look are Champaign and Springfield. Waitlists are common, especially in highly competitive urban areas and retirement communities. Always try to apply early and compare multiple options at once. If affordability is a concern, don’t forget to inquire about utility costs, amenity fees, and add-on charges for specific services before moving forward.
Both furnished and short-term Illinois rentals are available throughout the state, but they’re most popular in Naperville and Peoria. Demand comes from college renters, tourists, and traveling professionals. To identify short-term listings and furnished rentals, Illinois renters can use Rentler’s ‘furnished amenities’ and ‘lease length’ filters. It’s fast and easy.
The areas with the most luxury homes for rent in Illinois are in high-income communities in the state’s primary metro. River North, West Loop, Gold Coast, and Oak Brook are all great places to find new builds with premium features and high-end amenities. To tap into the luxury market, use Rentler’s ‘year built’ filter, then sort the results by highest price first.
