Huntley: Country Charm in a Planned Environment

Huntley is one of Chicago's historical suburbs. Located about 50 miles northwest of the city, Huntley is close enough to benefit from being a suburb of Chicago without dealing with much of the traffic and congestion that some of the closer suburbs have to encounter. The city of Huntley has historically pursued a policy of aggressive planning and expanding the city's residential and commercial zones. The result is a city that is easy to navigate, and one that has balanced historical neighborhoods with new developments.

Moving to Huntley

Right now is a great time to consider moving to Huntley. There are a number of all utilities paid condos for rent in Huntley, and the recent influx of available units makes it pretty easy to find an apartment on relatively short notice. The housing market in Huntley has declined gradually, but it has remained fairly stable since the housing crash of 2008, so landlords with apartment rentals are likely to be somewhat lenient on credit and rental history checks.

One thing to keep in mind before moving to Huntley is that the average daily low is below freezing for almost half of the year, so be sure to begin your search or move in before the winter comes along. But if you're a snow bunny, Huntley welcomes you with open arms!
