John Hughes' "Reach the Rock" was filmed in downtown West Chicago. Also...sorry, what were we talking about? We got lost thinking about John Hughes.
West Chicago is a small city with just over 27,000 people. It's a nice place to live with plenty of economic opportunity both in West Chicago and nearby Chicago-proper. Known mostly for its small town and friendly atmosphere, this is an old railroad town that got its start from the settlers who remained after the railroad camps moved on west.

Finding an apartment in West Chicago that accepts your pet may not be easy, but it’s very possible. Keep in mind, most of the time you’ll have to pay a premium for bringing your dog along in your new apartment. Some apartments require you to pay monthly pet rent, others will ask for a non-refundable pet fee or a refundable pet deposit.
While landlords and property management companies have varying pet policies, most of them limit the number of dogs you can bring to your apartment and include breed and weight restrictions.
If your pet falls under some of the restrictions outlined in the pet policy, it’s still worth asking the landlord if they can make an exception for your dog. Preparing a pet resume ahead of time could help you build the case for your furry friend. Make sure to include information on behavioral training your dog went through over the years and proof of vaccinations. If you can, include references from your former landlord and/or neighbors.
