The Fourth of July is just around the corner, and we take our holiday festivities very seriously here at The Apartment Source Chicago – almost as seriously as we take apartment locating! Considering we are experts in both departments, we are here to share our four picks for must-attend events happening in Chicago this week, along with four available apartments nearby that you could tour, sign, and settle into before the holiday is here. After all, there is no better way to celebrate independence than with a brand new apartment!

NASCAR Street Race Weekend

Nothing says ‘MERICA quite like NASCAR! Head to the heart of the city this weekend to see Grant Park transformed into a two-day street racing and music event. Sports Business Journal named Chicago Street Race the ‘Event of the Year’ for the 2023 event, and NASCAR will once again take to the streets of Chicago along with musical performances by Keith Urban, The Chainsmokers, The Black Keys, Lauren Alaina, and a special House Music 40th Anniversary Showcase, for year two of the event on July 6-7, 2024. So start your engines, folks! Tickets are on sale now at https://www.nascarchicago.com starting at $269.

1464 S Michigan Ave #1901

Less than two city blocks from NASCAR’s Chicago Street Race is 1464 S Michigan Ave #1901, a fabulous three bedroom two bathroom condo rental listed for $3,850 per month. This apartment features over 1300 square feet of interior living space, in unit laundry, and offers garage parking for rent. Step out on the private balcony to hear the racecars’ vrooms echo off of our city’s skyline.

Navy Pier’s Fireworks Show

It would be criminal not to mention the iconic Navy Pier Firework Show in a feature of Chicago’s hottest 4th of July events! Come on down to Navy Pier to celebrate Independence Day with a dazzling display of fireworks and music beginning at 9 p.m., Wednesday, July 3rd. Make sure to arrive early to scope out the perfect viewing spot on the pier with your friends and family for a night you won’t forget. Did we mention the show is free?!? It doesn’t get much better than that. 

500 N Lake Shore Drive

Located in a prime Lake Michigan spot, 500 Lake Shore Drive provides luxury rentals with top amenities such as a Equinox gym, rooftop pool, cabanas, dog run, pet spa, library, a fire pit terrace, and more. Best of all, every apartment in the building features a lake view! Flex on the rest of us pier-going civilians by enjoying the most elaborate firework display every week of #SummertimeChi from the comfort of your own home. This fabulous high rise currently has available studio and one bedroom floor plans ranging from $2,225-$3,450 per month. 

4th on 53rd Parade

Celebrate the 4th of July in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood, with a beloved local tradition going back 30+ years – the 4th on 53rd Parade and Free Festival! The parade kicks off on July 4th at 11 a.m. with marching bands, floats, community groups, and kids on decorated bikes – with a free festival after the parade from 12-3 p.m. featuring performances, games, bouncy houses, face painting, petting zoo, magician, and more! 

5403 S Harper #2

Just one block from the 53rd street parade, we have the most charming three bedroom apartment for rent in Hyde Park! This home features beautiful hardwood floors, classic built-ins, and an abundance of natural light. For only $2,000 per month with heat included, we would encourage you to RUN, not walk, to secure this apartment. Maybe one of our hardworking leasing agents would even meet you on your way to the parade if you ask nicely. 

Rooftop Cinema Club @ Emily Hotel – Independence Day

If large crowds aren’t your thing, kick back with a good movie, food, and drinks at the Emily Hotel’s Rooftop Cinema Club! Your ticket includes a plate of delicious barbecue and a soft drink. In honor of the holiday, this event will be featuring a screening of INDEPENDENCE DAY starring Will Smith! Doors open at 6pm, live music and games run until 8pm, and the movie runtime is 8-10:40pm. These all-inclusive tickets are $65 and sales close on June 29th, so snag them while you can!

Experience elevated living in Chicago’s critically acclaimed West Loop neighborhood at these stylish new construction four and five bedroom luxury apartments. These sophisticated homes just hit the market this week, and we promise you haven’t seen anything like this in our city before. Apartment amenities include seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living rooms, 1000 square foot private rooftop decks, and custom designer finishes throughout. Exact pricing is still TBD (that’s right, you’re getting the sneak peek), but you can expect to see rents upwards of $14,000 per month. We promise you, these apartments are worth every penny.
