Savoy, IL 4 Apartments for Rent

_"Savoy, the home of sweet romance

Savoy, it wins you with a glance

Savoy, gives happy feet a chance to dance

Your old form just like a clinging vine

Your lips so warm and sweet as wine

Your cheek so soft and close to mine, divine!"_

--From 'Stompin' at the Savoy' by Ella Fitzgerald

Savoy is a self-governing village located at the southernmost point of Champaign County, Illinois. Home to a little over 7,000 residents, Savoy is a mostly professional community. More people here are employed to work in the scientific and mathematical industries than in 95% of the other towns, villages and cities in Illinois! Talk about a smart place to live.

What to Expect in Savoy

The village of Savoy acts as a sort of suburb to the adjacent city of Champaign. The northern border of Savoy connects directly with the southern border of Champaign; to the south, you'll find the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Yes, that's quite a mouthful! The Orange and Blue Golf Course, Willard Airport and Dana Colbert Park are also found to the south of the village. Savoy is a long, thin strip of land in which most homes and businesses are found at the center.

Since Savoy is such a small village, there are no peak times to move in and out. However, if you want to avoid harsh Illinois winters it is recommended you move anytime that isn't from October-March to be on the safe side. That is, unless you enjoy navigating gigantic moving vans through banks of snow drifts while cursing your need to bring that hideous lawn gnome statue.

Savoy Neighborhoods

Savoy has no distinct neighborhoods of its own, since it is such a small community. Month to month studio apartments for rent are usually quite spacious, and 2 bedroom apartments in this place are unlikely to break your budget. If it's a larger home for rent that you're looking for, you'll be able to find 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom houses for a really affordable price -- again, it's not the cheapest place to live, but it's certainly not the most costly, either! Rental apartments are really abundant in Savoy, so if that's your thing, you'll be able to find a place right away and move in without a lot of waiting around.

The Savoy Municipal Center provides water and trash services, as well as providing advice and information about companies that can hook up your electricity, gas, cable and internet services before you move in. Most small communities like Savoy don't have much in the way of public transportation, but since this village is connected to Champaign residents are able to commute daily on the city bus. Save some money, save the environment, and sleep on the way to work!

Entertainment in Savoy

Savoy has everything that you could come to expect from a small town, plus plenty more -- the Curtis Orchard and Pumpkin Patch, the University of Illinois Golf Course, laser tag and games at Skateland, bowling at Old Orchard Lanes, and an Imax theater at Goodrich Savoy. There's even a Kids of America Pageant. This place has a kind of innocent 1950s charm like that.

What about food, you ask? Don't worry about that! You've got Buffalo Wild Wings, Applebee's, Smoky's House BBQ, Gumby's Pizza, I Wok Chinese, and all the brand-name fast food you can handle.

Savoy living? Can't beat it! Come and get cozy.
