What's the area like surrounding Francis?

We are lucky to be in the middle of two of the best spots in Chicago! Right in the heart of Logan Square (and so close to Wicker Park), there's a never ending supply of bars, resturaunts, clubs, concert venues, coffee shops, book shops, art galleries, fitness centers, and everything else under the sun.

What kind of people live at Francis?

We attract international and local individuals, wanting to find a community inside Chicago. We attract tech interns, art students, political activists, singers, dancers, filmers, dreamers, writers, or anyone and anyone with ambition. What we look for in our application is passion and creativity which we believe will translate into a community full of interesting and fun people to be around. We encourage friendships at Francis, and it's our hope that here at Francis, you'll not only find people to enjoy Chicago with, but lifelong friendships from all around the world.

How do I know I'll fit in and get along with everyone in the house?

The reason why we have an application process is to ensure there's a diverse range of people, but to make sure everyone coming into the house understand the community spirit we are trying to create. There'll be a lot of different personalities in one house, but we believe that because everyone that lives at Francis genuinely wants to be there and support each other, it'll all work out.

Can I renew my stay?

Rooms are rented out based on a one month, two month, three month package, or four month package. If you would like to stay beyond the length of stay you've chosen, simply let us know at least a month ahead of time and you'll renew your lease.

If I only stay for part of the month, can I get refunded for the days I didn't use?

Unfortunately, it is at a month-per-month basis. You must pay for the month of stay regardless of the package you've chosen. For example, if you move out on the the 20th of the month, you must still pay for that full month. This is to keep the move in and move out process simple since we have a lot of rotation of roommates.

What is the deposit for?

The deposit lets us know two things:

1) Lets us reserve the room for you.

2) The landlord isn't in trouble if you mess something up and leave.

So when can I move in?

Since rooms are rented by the calendar month, you technically have that entire month to move in!
