1915 S Harlem Ave East Unit Garden · Berwyn, IL 60402
Jamie Jordan represented the landlord and renter.
A recent lease at 1915 S Harlem Ave East Unit Garden provides a useful example. The 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment rented for $1,375 per month on November 10, 2026, offering approximately 750 square feet, hardwood flooring, an eat-in kitchen and generous storage.
Jamie Jordan of The Cory Tanzer Group at Option Premier represented the renter in the completed lease.
Public MLS information also shows that heat, water, lawn care and snow removal were included in the lease, making the total monthly cost more meaningful than the advertised rent alone.
For renters searching for Berwyn apartments under $1,500, this lease provides a current example of what that budget can secure near the Harlem Avenue and Cermak Road corridors.
What $1,375/Month Rented in Berwyn
The garden apartment offers approximately 750 square feet, giving the renter more room than many compact one-bedroom layouts.
Large windows bring natural light into the lower-level residence, while hardwood flooring runs through much of the living space.
The eat-in kitchen includes:
Generous cabinetry
Ample counter space
Breakfast peninsula
Tile flooring
Space for a dining table
Range, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator
The apartment also offers substantial closet space and neutral interior finishes.
Public listing information describes the property as pet friendly, adding another consideration for renters who may have difficulty finding apartments accepting cats or dogs.
Is $1,375 a Typical Rent for a 1-Bedroom in Berwyn?
Current November 2026 rental data varies depending on the source and methodology.
PadMapper reports a median one-bedroom rent of approximately $1,250 per month in Berwyn as of November 8.
Trulia reports approximately $1,400 per month for one-bedroom apartments, while RentalSource places the average one-bedroom asking rent at roughly $1,465 per month.
Those different figures show why renters should avoid treating a single online average as the definitive market price.
At $1,375 per month, this completed lease falls within the range of current Berwyn one-bedroom asking rents.
Its value proposition also includes something that broad rent averages do not capture: heat and water were included.
Why Included Utilities Matter
Two apartments advertised at the same monthly rent can have substantially different total costs.
For this Berwyn apartment, the lease included:
Heat
Water
Lawn care
Snow removal
That means a renter comparing this $1,375 unit with another apartment should not simply ask which one has the lower advertised rent.
A more useful comparison is:
Rent + utilities + parking + pet costs + other required monthly charges.
That total gives renters a clearer picture of what they will actually spend each month.
Near Harlem Avenue and Cermak Road
Location is another part of the rental equation.
The property sits along Harlem Avenue just north of Cermak Road, placing it near one of the major north-south transit corridors serving Berwyn and neighboring communities.
Pace Route 307 operates along Harlem Avenue and serves Berwyn, with stops at Harlem and Cermak as well as nearby intersections. The route connects with CTA Blue and Green Line stations and multiple Metra lines farther north.
Cermak Road also provides access to additional bus service, shopping and businesses throughout Berwyn and the Near West Suburbs.
For renters who want suburban housing while maintaining connections toward Oak Park, Forest Park and Chicago, that transportation access can be an important advantage.

That makes the lease a useful benchmark for renters searching for a one-bedroom apartment in Berwyn around $1,400 per month.

The best rental depends on the entire package.
