Chicago, Illinois is arguably one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The architecture, the sculptures and art, the parks, the views, it's hard to look in awe at the surroundings.

There's nothing average about the price unless you are already accustomed to it. Rent Cafe lists the average apartment in Chicago as 750 sq. ft., $2,080 a month. They also say 43% of apartments in the windy city are $2,000 or more a month. This does not include utilities, parking, etc.
