Decision Review: The Bachelor Chicago
Who This Residence Suits (and Who It Doesn’t)
The Bachelor is a small apartment building in Chicago’s 60640 zip code, offering studio and one-bedroom units. Based on available resident feedback and property features, this residence works best for individuals or couples who prefer a compact, low-maintenance living space. The building is located in a residential area that residents describe as “nice” and “cozy,” making it a practical choice for those who value neighborhood quiet and easy access to the city’s outdoor attractions.
Who it suits:
- Singles or couples (including those with a single household) who do not need a large floor plan.
- People who want to spend more time outside the apartment — “enjoy more time outside in Chicago,” as one reviewer put it.
- Renters who appreciate a responsive, helpful property manager. Two of the three Google reviews specifically praise manager Dino for making the move-in process smooth and for resolving issues within a day.
- Tenants with pets: the property is tagged as pet-friendly.
- Students or young professionals attending nearby universities — the property is within commuting distance of several Chicago campuses.
Who may want to look elsewhere:
- Families or groups needing multiple bedrooms or a larger living area. The unit types are studio and apartment (likely one-bedroom), so space is limited.
- Anyone who prefers a full-service building with amenities like a gym, concierge, or rooftop deck — The Bachelor does not list such features.
- Budget-conscious renters looking for the absolute lowest price in Chicago: the city’s starting rent is around $600/month (indicative — confirm with the operator), and The Bachelor’s price is not disclosed. Studios and apartments in this neighborhood typically cost more than the city minimum.
What Residents Actually Say
All three Google reviews for The Bachelor give a 5-star rating. The common thread: the property manager, Dino, earns strong praise for communication and problem-solving. Here are the verbatim quotes:
Mea Estrada (MIA-PIA): “This place is perfect for a couple to single household. It’s in a nice area and is cozy for those who don’t want to keep up a huge place. Don’t have to worry about cleaning up all day and can enjoy more time outside in Chicago. I recommend it 👌. Property manager was chill and a big help with all my questions.”
Lio G: “Property manager Dino has made the move-in process feel like a walk in the park compared to other application processes! He was extremely helpful and prompt with answering questions and assisting with any issue me and my cosigner had while filling out paperwork. Very much looking forward to living at The Bachelor!”
Debby Shanahan: “The Bachelor and the Flats itself is a top notch run place. Special acknowledgment to Dino who has taken care of and answered any questions I may have had . Any questions or issues I might have had get resolved within the day or the next day. Highly recommended”
These reviews highlight three consistent themes: easy move-in, responsive management, and a cozy, manageable living space. The property’s overall Google rating is 4.2 out of 5 (from 36 reviews), which is above average for student-oriented housing in Chicago.
Price Positioning vs. City From-Price
The Bachelor’s current pricing is not listed publicly (min and max prices are null in the data). To give readers context: the lowest monthly rent for any student property in Chicago is approximately $600 (indicative — confirm with the operator). That figure typically applies to shared rooms or micro-studios in less central areas.
Since The Bachelor offers only studios and apartments (likely private units), its monthly rent is expected to be higher than the city’s baseline. Studios in the 60640 area usually range from $900–$1,300 (indicative — confirm with the operator) depending on size, floor, and renovation status. The building’s pet-friendly policy and in-unit or on-site laundry facility (as tagged) add convenience that often commands a small premium.

Room-Type Guidance
The Bachelor offers two unit types: studio and apartment (which in this context likely means a one-bedroom unit). There is no mention of shared rooms or multi-bedroom apartments.
- Studio: Best for a single tenant who wants an open-plan layout combining sleeping, living, and kitchen areas. Suitable for minimalists or those who spend most of their day outside.
- Apartment (one-bedroom): Offers a separate bedroom, giving more privacy for couples or for someone who works from home and needs a distinct sleep space.
Both types appear to be self-contained (private bathroom and kitchen). The property’s tags include “rain showers,” which suggests a modern bathroom feature in at least some units. Laundry facilities are available on-site.
If you need a roommate or plan to share to reduce costs, The Bachelor is not the right fit — look for properties offering 2-bedroom or 3-bedroom units instead.
Booking Timing
The Bachelor’s first availability date is 7 June 2026 (date format: month-day-year, i.e., 06-07-2026). This means the earliest move-in for new residents is June 2026.
For students aiming to move in before the fall 2026 semester (typically late August/September), June is an ideal window: you can settle in before the rush. Many Chicago student properties fill up by July or August, so securing a unit in March–May 2026 is advisable. Since The Bachelor has only 36 Google reviews (relatively few compared to larger complexes), it may have a smaller number of units — meaning availability could go quickly once listings are active.
Recommendation: Contact the property (or use the on-site assistant) as early as possible in 2026 to check availability for your desired lease start. If you plan to move in exactly on 7 June, start inquiring by March or April.
