Rent a mansion and stay under budget

Ian Spula, Curbed Chicago

How often do you get to add a whopping Victorian to your $4,000 rent search? Presumably never, at least not in a desirable neighborhood.

This towering River Forest single family changes things.

The 3,400 sf, five bedroom home is capped by a huge comfy attic. A recent renovation took any 19th century spook out of it.

There's a brand new master suite, hardwoods, and high ceilings, and the house is set on a 100 x 200 corner lot.

Asking $3,700/mo. You snooze, you loose.
