The Hickory Apartments

About The Hickory

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 an ew 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. This season the apartments that have become available for August first 2026 leasing have, all but one, gone in the first three weeks of listing. We are now down to our largest and premier apartment - 105. It is spacious: ten feet high ceilings and 1,499 square feet. Apartment 105 is 1,449 square feet. It is on the first floor. To access the apartments there is a security door with an intercom for visitors in the foyer. The front foyer and patio is camera monitored.

The north bedroom has a walk-in closet. Off the kitchen, for extra storage, is a separate pantry. Included in the rent is free parking in our private lot.
