There are 1,000s of ads on Craigslist for Streeterville apartments, most of them featuring the eleven (that’s all there are) rental high-rises in the neighborhood. Many of those ads are from apartment rental services that promise Xanadu but contain a volume of lies more akin to Kubla Khan’s caverns – “measureless to man.”

Forget Craigslist and check YoChicago’s guides. If you’re looking in the South Loop or the Loop/New East Side, we have a list for that neighborhood also.  And more Yo lists are pending.
