$3,205 /OneYear

Seventeen floors up, the windows do the talking. This 1,025-square-foot two-bedroom, two-bath at The Montrose runs floor-to-ceiling glass across the living room, and the view stretches out over Uptown toward the skyline. The open living and dining area handles a real sofa and a real table without a fight, the kitchen has a dishwasher and full-size appliances, and both bedrooms are true bedrooms with generous closet space. The building is the other half of the deal: a resort-style swimming pool, a brand-new fitness center, a resident lounge with a billiards room, elevator access, secured entry, and laundry facilities. Assigned indoor parking is available (not included in rent). Trash, sewer and pest control are covered through the building's utility package, billed in addition to rent; electric, cable and internet are set up by the resident. The community is pet friendly — cats and dogs welcome, two pets max, $400 one-time pet fee and $25/month pet rent per pet. A $450 admin fee is due at application and is refundable at move-in under the current 24-hour look-and-lease promotion. Uptown puts the Red Line, the lakefront path, Montrose Harbor and Beach, and the Riviera and Aragon theaters all within easy reach, with Andersonville and Lakeview a short ride in either direction. Available July 14. Listing posted by Uran Kabashi (773) 574-7291 SYNDID 4169946 07222026
