Frequently Asked Questions

What is coliving?

Coliving is roommate and city living made easy. Instead of scouring Craigslist for roommates, spending your savings on new furniture, and arguing over splitting the bills, you’ll move into a private bedroom in a fully-furnished, all-inclusive shared apartment.

What’s included with coliving? What should I bring when I move in?

As a PMG’s coliving member, your rent includes a full-sized bed-frame, nightstand, lamp, clothes storages, and hangers. In your shared suite you’ll find a fully-furnished living room and dining area, with appliances, cutlery, and household essentials including toilet paper, dish washing soap, sponges, and laundry detergent. Alongside your personal items, we recommend bringing bed and bathroom linens alongside any personal decor. We do not allow members to bring in extra furniture. Coliving offerings may differ depending on your home. Please ask your leasing specialist for a full list of what’s included.

What is included in non-coliving apartments?

As a PMG’s member in a traditional apartment, you’ll have access to convenient amenities, people-first property services, PMG’s built-in community, events, and discounts to local and national brands. Unless stated otherwise, our traditional apartments are unfurnished and not all-inclusive of utilities, WiFi, etc.

Is parking available?

Parking availability is dependent on each home! If a building has a parking garage or lot, you’ll see a Parking icon on our website. Please ask your leasing specialist about available spaces.

Can I pick my roommates in my coliving suite?

If you and a friend would like to live in the same coliving suite together, we’re happy to accommodate your request given that you both qualify and there is availability in the suite. However, due to Fair Housing Laws, we can’t allow members to pick roommates based on factors like gender, religion etc. For example, that means we can’t guarantee you will have an all female suite.

Can I share a room with a friend?

PMG offers rooms with queen-sized beds and ensuite bathrooms at select homes for couples who are looking to live together in a coliving suite. We do not allow members to bring additional furniture.

What happens if I don’t get along with my roommates?

Coliving at PMG is designed to reduce the typical arguments and tensions that come with roommate living, like splitting the bills, buying essentials like toilet paper, and choosing furniture. We do ask that members be respectful of one another and their home, and perform chores like taking out the trash, filling the dishwasher, and maintaining a livable space. However, as a property manager, it’s not within PMG’s power to enforce those behaviors. If your roommate is in violation of their lease, please reach out to our Member Support team. In such cases, we may be able to transfer you to another unit or home.

Can I have a private bathroom?

Select coliving bedrooms offer ensuite bathrooms. Please ask your leasing specialist for more details on availability.

Are pets allowed?

While PMG love animals, we only allow pets at our private studio and 1- and 2-bedroom apartments. In our coliving suites, pets may be allowed as an accommodation for tenants with a qualified disability.

Are community events free?

Yes! All community events are free. Some events are limited to a certain number of people.

What is Chicago Known for?

As America’s third-largest city, Chicago sometimes lives in the shadows of LA and New York. But make no mistake—Chi-town is a world-class metropolis of its own. Deep-dish pizza and Chicago-style hot dogs may be Windy City’s culinary claims to fame, but its fine dining scene is just as renowned. Chicago’s architecture also straddles the past and the present, with classic buildings reflecting in the silver of the modern Cloud Gate sculpture. Overall, Chicago is known for its energy—something you’ll feel the second you walk into one of its many festivals, parades, or sporting events.

What is public transportation in Chicago?

With eight lines crisscrossing the city, Chicago’s L train is one of the most comprehensive transit systems in the country. Connecting it all is a series of frequent buses that go where you need to go. For longer trips, the iconic Union Station is your ticket to exploring the rest of the region. Unless you love driving, you won’t need a car when you’re coliving in Chicago.

What are some fun things to do in Chicago?

The Windy City has no shortage of sights, events, and tasty eats—and shared living in Chicago means you’ll have more time and money to experience them. For sports fans, there’s never a dull moment, with baseball, basketball, football, and hockey all represented. To see live improv (or try it for yourself), head to The Second City for a comedy masterclass. And if you’re looking for a free day out, you can pop into the Lincoln Park Zoo before strolling down to Navy Pier to take in the atmosphere.
