Des Plaines, IL Apartments for Rent

Des Plaines is a suburban city in Cook County situated on the Des Plaines River, which French explorers named La Rivière des Plaines in the 1600s after the trees along its banks that resembled European plane trees. With a population of over 60,000, the city is located just north of O'Hare International Airport and offers convenient access to downtown Chicago through two Metra stations on the Union Pacific/Northwest Line. If you're searching for apartments for rent in Des Plaines, you'll discover everything from contemporary apartment communities near the downtown area to properties close to Oakton Community College, with one-bedroom units averaging around $1,655 per month and two-bedroom apartments typically renting for approximately $2,000.

Renting in Des Plaines appeals to commuters who want quick access to both Chicago and the northwest suburbs, as the city sits between the Northwest Tollway (I-90) and Tri-State Tollway (I-294). Express Metra trains reach downtown Chicago's Ogilvie Transportation Center in less than 30 minutes, while the CTA Blue Line is accessible just five miles away at the Cumberland or Rosemont stations. The downtown district features diverse dining options including Thai, sushi, Vietnamese, Mexican, and Italian restaurants within walking distance of the Metra station. Residents enjoy local attractions such as the Des Plaines Theater, a restored 1925 landmark, Lake Opeka, and the McDonald's Museum, while the nearby Fashion Outlets of Chicago in Rosemont and Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg provide extensive shopping options.
