Our View On Des Plaines
Three things keep Des Plaines apartments leased: O’Hare International Airport and related logistics jobs, Rivers Casino Des Plaines, and Oakton College and Metra Union Pacific Northwest service.
Bordering O’Hare, Des Plaines draws airline, hotel, and logistics workers along with commuters who use its downtown Metra station. The city’s rental stock includes new transit-oriented buildings downtown and many older complexes, where aircraft noise and building age can affect pricing.
In Mount Prospect and Niles as much as Park Ridge, we are open to buildings with deferred maintenance, below-market rents, or occupancy problems.
