So as the title suggests I desperately need housing advice Rn. I used to live at tower at third but due to an unfortunate situation with my roommates decided to go at it alone and get a studio. I went with 1005 S First St with green street realty.

I’m wondering has anyone else lived here or do you know anyone else that has lived here and what they thought about it?

I’ve already had to kill like 6 spiders and I even think I saw a roach!! I just moved in today and I regrettably couldn’t find any reviews talking about this building. Please let me know any advice or knowledge you have on the matter!

Thank you in advance!

Edit: It turns out what I saw was not a roach but in fact a crickets, it was extremely dark so I only saw somewhat the body shape and I’ve never seen a roach in person before. Sorry for any confusion! In other words the bug issue still persists I sprayed under the radiator where it seemed they came from and a bunch sprung out like 7 and since I have a severe phobia of bugs I had to leave.

Anyone looking for a sublease this fall?😭

Hi all, I am urgently looking for a lease takeover (we can discuss subleasing too) at 108 E Healy St. It's a 2 bed / 1 bath with a total rent of $800/person. Everything is negotiable at this point. We'd just need two roommates who are the same sex. I'd even be open to a single person and discount their rent. Please dm me if interested!

Cousin is looking for housing so posting this for her. She’s only open to a studio or 1 bed 1 bath. Not open to roommates. Must be walkable to Noyes Lab and Huff Hall. No more than $1100 a month

I would prefer a full lease takeover/re-lease, but I'm also open to semester-by-semester subleases (Fall '26, Spring '27, and/or Summer '27). If you're only interested in one semester, that's okay — I only ask for help finding a subletter for the remaining semester(s).

If you're interested, would like to see photos of the unit, or have any questions, please message me!! Please share with anyone looking for housing.

Is it possible to cancel the apartment lease after move-in? The AC noise inside the room and noise from window is so annoying to sleep just one day moving in.

Hi everyone, I’m an incoming exchange student at UIUC arriving on August 16, and I’m currently in a bit of a difficult situation with accommodation. My leasing office took longer than expected to process my request for an early move-in, so I ended up without a place to stay for the first few days. I’m looking for somewhere temporary for 2–3 days (around Aug 16–18). If anyone has an extra/empty room, knows of a place available for a few days, I would really appreciate it. I’m happy to pay for the stay. Hotels are unfortunately very expensive for these dates, so I’m hoping someone here might know of an affordable temporary option. Please DM me if you have anything available or know someone who might be able to help. Thank you!
