Looking for Roommate for East Lakeview apartment

Room view one (stuff not included)

Hi! I’m Owen (22) — I’m an illustrator/concept artist who’s into art, movies, comics, animation, games, and exploring new and exciting places. I moved to Chicago about 6 months ago with my current roomate I went to college with and really love the area. I work two different freelance jobs and work on art projects in my free time, so sometimes I’m home working on art projects or chilling and other times I’m out exploring the city, at work or hanging with friends.

I’m looking for a chill, respectful, and communicative roommate roughly in the 22–30 age range.

My current roommate is moving out next week, so I’m looking for someone to take over his portion of the lease!

The Apartment

Located in Lakeview East, one of the most walkable and convenient neighborhoods in Chicago.

You’ll be close to:

• The lakefront & running/bike paths

• Tons of coffee shops and restaurants

• Grocery stores within walking distance

• Bars, nightlife, and local spots

• Easy access to buses + Red/Brown/Purple Line trains

• Quick trips to Wrigleyville, Lincoln Park, and downtown

The vibe of the neighborhood is lively without feeling overwhelming — great balance between social and relaxed.

The apartment itself is a two-bedroom unit with:

• Shared bathroom

• Kitchenette

• Comfortable shared living space

• Good natural light

• Layout that works well for relaxing, gaming, or working from home

It’s honestly a really nice home base if you want somewhere cozy to come back to after work or city adventures.
