THE HIGH RISE APARTMENT – LIVING IN CHICAGO

Home Insurance – Ensuring Your Future in Chicago

Posted in Uncategorized | January 20th, 2013

For a while now, we’ve been talking a lot about apartment living in Chicago, but that’s not the only way you can go. Just like anywhere else in the country, you can find a decent house in Chicago. It isn’t just a city of apartments and lofts. And, just like anywhere else in the country, you want to get that house insured – especially in Chicago.

There are plenty of sites and online services that can help get you started on that – there’s HomeInsurance-Rates.com, just to name one off the top of my head.

And what these sites will tell you is that there are some things you need to consider before making that house a proper home. Things that lots of people don’t think of start out.

Like, for instance, did you know that a pool, while nice and relaxing, could really hike up your insurance rates? It’s seen as a potential hazard and some home insurance companies even require that you put in a fence if one doesn’t exist.

Another thing that a lot of new homeowners don’t realize is that the type of dog you own could really mess with your rates as well – especially in Chicago. That means you’re going to want to steer clear of the main offenders like pinschers and pitbulls.

There’s plenty of other things to consider, but you’ll really want to check with your provider for an accurate idea.

And don’t let any of this deter you from making the Windy City your new home.
