"Reasonable" in the nicer areas (anywhere you'd actually want to live) are around $1200-1500 for a 1BR and usually include heat and/or water.  Most places you only pay for your electricity, which tends not to be very much.

The further you get from downtown the cheaper places get and the more you get for your money.  Chicago is a pretty expensive city to live in, though.

what's "reasonable" in these areas?  I would love to live in chicago at least a few years, maybe between now and grad school.  gina (i am wary to say her name, but ye must know) has always lived in th dorms but the last time i was there i was looking through the free weekly and found apartments that seemed pretty well priced (2 bdrm 5 - 6oo and up) but of course i don't know quality.

I hear Gina's got a couple fo places for rent in the apartment block she built.... in her pu$$y.  You should check it out jough - the view leaves something to be desired, but the heat bills are very low.
