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. From time to time apartments become available mid term. We are now taking reservations 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).
