300 sq ft Apartment in Chicago's Lincoln Square

I'm always inspired by small spaces, and although this isn't a studio, Jay Michael's quaint 300 sq ft apartment in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood struck a very realistic, affordable cord with me. It's not often people can find a cozy, budget-friendly space that has the desired upgrades, so I was excited to see this post on ApartmentTherapy.com.

Jay Michael's goal with this apartment community renovation was to show renters how "beautifully and efficiently one can live in a small, rented space." For any of my Chicago readers that are on the hunt for a place to call home, these units are located in the Rockwell Commons apartment community and start at $800/mo for small 1-bdrms like the one featured. However, they do also have larger 1, 2, and 3 bedroom apartments.
