About The Hickory

OUR LEASE RUN FROM AUGUST 1 AND RUN THROUGH THE FOLLOWING JULY 30TH.

At this time we are fully leased until AUGUST 1, 2027. We are taking names for our waiting list.

The University of Illinois dominates the local Champaign-Urbana rental market. ...
For this reason our leases always end July 30th. From time to time, a tenant moves in the midst of a lease because they have purchased their first home or are taking a new position out of the area and buys out the existing lease. When this happens an apartment may become available off our normal lease period. HOWEVER our leases always end July 30th. UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS - OUR LEASE ALWASY BEGIN AUGUST FIRST AND RUN THROUGH THE FOLLOWING JULY 30TH.

Included in the rent is free parking in our private lot. The building is a zero lot line thus our parking lot is a block and a half away. It is adjacent to our large private tenant fitness center (605 N Neil St).

If you wish to be part of the micro-urban lifestyle that downtown Champaign provides this really is your best choice.


In keeping with the entire building's theme, the apartment is an open floorplan with loft styling throughout including exposed spiral ducts.

If you are discerning, wishing a more sophisticated urban setting while living in Champaign this apartment is a must see.

The building is quiet, professional, secured, and the rent includes free parking (a rarity in downtown) and free Wi-Fi. It is located on the northwest corner of Washington Street and Hickory Street. It is two stories with a total square footage of 27,422. In addition to the 18 apartments it also has three retail stores. They are JJ Realtors, Mother Ghost, and Planted - residential realtors, custom women's clothing, and house plants respectively.

FEATURES -
- hardwood floors

Constructed with extra thick insulated party walls (12 inches between apartments). We firmly hold that apartment buildings should be quiet. We went the extra mile to create quiet apartments.

Each apartment floor plan is unique. All have open floor plans. Finishes are similar throughout.

We pride ourselves on quick attention to maintenance requests - we even change your light bulbs!

The Hickory Street Apartments has traditionally had a large University of Illinois influence. Over the last ten years, we have had a U of I football coach, administrators, professors, scientists, and graduate students as tenants. Additionally, tenants have been professionals, business owners, managers, IT mangers, attorneys, and even a former Champaign mayor.


We are firm on not wanting our tenants to be rent burdened. Our policy is firm at a 3 to 1 ratio, net monthly income to rent.

TENANTS MUST PLACE WATER AND POWER INTO THEIR NAMES!!

Great building, great owners

Rented at the Hickory for several years, ending in 2026.
Great building, updated loft-style apartments.
Owners/prop managers/staff are very conscientious. Maintenance requests handled promptly. They really care about their properties and tenants.
Neighbors were great. Mix of grad students and people who want to live downtown.
Loved living here.
