"I walked all the way from East Saint Louis. /I never had but that one, one thin dime. /I laid my head in a New York woman's lap. /She laid her little cute head in mine." (- Blind Willie McTell, "East St Louis Blues")
The city of East St. Louis, IL, has a rich musical history. It's been home to some awesome blues and jazz musicians, including bebop pioneer Miles Davis and ragtime blues legend Blind Willie McTell. Even Tina Turner began her career singing in the nightclubs of East St. Louis. You might not experience the same international success as Tina after you spend an evening crooning at the karaoke, but you can still have a great night out in the legendary blues and jazz clubs that still exist here.

Move-in specials offer an enticing incentive to East St. Louis apartment renters looking to save. However, it’s important to ask about any stipulations to the move-in specials. A free month’s rent may only apply to specific apartment floors or basic amenities instead of the apartment you really want.
Other move-in specials might include a lowered or no security deposit option. Keep in mind the lack of security deposit means you are responsible for damage when moving out.
No application fees are also popular move-in specials, which will immediately put more money back in your pocket.
East St. Louis apartments are more likely to offer move-in specials during an off-season like winter when fewer people are moving. You may be able to negotiate your own special like free parking for a year in the paid garage.
