    Thanks a lot Santa. Checked the site for railway plaza. looks impressive.
    One more question. My husband has to travel to Millenium station. I checked in the metra site that BSNF line does not take to Millenium station. How do people usually commute from Chicago Union Station to Millenium station? If this query is resolved, I will go ahead and block Railway plaza itself...

    Thanks

    Santa,

    We have decided to stay in Railway plaza itself.
    Looks like there are some vacancies there.

    Could you please let me know the procedure for entering the lease if possible so that I can start the process from India itself?We will be arriving during the second week of November.

    Happy that I have a friend in the apartment now even before entering US.
    Thanks to Indus Ladies :)

    Thanks
    Nala

    Santa,

    Sorry to bombard you with questions. One general query.
    We are actually a family of 4 with 2 kids , 2nd kid being less than 2 years old.
    Can we stay in 1Bedroom apartment or should look only for 2?

    Thanks
    Nala

    Hi Nalak ....

    No problem..........you can mail them or if possible call the leasing office and ask them as to how you can go ahead with the lease .We signed the lease only after coming to chicago .

    With one kid of age 2years i think they will allow1 bedroom ...but 2 kids u have to ask them

    Take care

    Regards

    Nalak,

    Please view the link of stations in chicago downtown.

    Downtown Chicago Stations

    If you live in Railway Plaza each way commute will be more than 1 hour,
    commute from railway plaza to downtown = ~35-40 min, (metra pass)
    Union station to Millenium station = ~25 min (bus ticket)
    commute will be more for your DH, but many indian neighbours for you.

    Pavillion Apartments, Cumberland, IL is good option. It will take max 1 hour from that apartment to downtown plus you will only need 1 monthly pass.
    There are not as many indians as in Railway Plaza though.

    Living in south side is not advisable (south shore trains that come to Millenium park)
