Palatine property management
One Point Property Management manages rental homes across Palatine, from the condos and townhomes around the downtown Metra station to the single-family neighborhoods off Rand and Quentin Roads. We are based ten minutes away in Hoffman Estates.
- Express Metra UP-NW service from downtown Palatine keeps commuter demand strong
- Harper College and downtown employers bring year-round renters
- Districts 15 and 211, including Fremd and Palatine High Schools
Palatine’s downtown has been rebuilt around its Union Pacific Northwest Metra station, and the condos and townhomes within walking distance lease quickly to commuters who want an express train to Ogilvie. Farther out, the village is mostly single-family: ranches and split-levels from the 1950s through the 1970s, larger two-story homes near Deer Grove Forest Preserve and in the neighborhoods that border Inverness.
Family renters in Palatine look first at schools. District 15 elementary and middle schools and District 211’s Fremd and Palatine High Schools are the reason many households rent here for a few years before buying in the same attendance area. A well-kept three-bedroom near a good elementary school rarely sits.
What drives demand here
The train, the schools and Harper College. Downtown restaurants and the Palatine Farmers Market add to the walkable appeal near the station. Rand Road and Route 53 make the rest of the northwest suburbs and O’Hare easy to reach.

Before you rent out a home in Palatine
Cook County’s Residential Tenant and Landlord Ordinance applies to most Palatine rentals. If your home is in an association, its declaration may limit leasing. We check both before listing.
Questions Palatine owners ask.
What does property management cost?
A monthly management fee as a percentage of collected rent, plus a leasing fee when we place a new resident. There are no hidden charges; the full fee schedule is in the management agreement before you sign. Request a proposal and you will have the numbers for your specific home within one business day.
Where do you manage property?
The northwest suburbs of Chicago: Hoffman Estates, Schaumburg, Palatine, Arlington Heights, Mount Prospect, Rolling Meadows, Elgin, Algonquin, Crystal Lake, Mundelein and the surrounding communities in Cook, Kane, Lake and McHenry Counties. If your home is nearby but not on the list, ask.
How quickly will my home rent?
A well-presented home priced to current leases in its attendance area usually has qualified applications within the first two weeks. The biggest variables are price, condition and season. We tell you before listing what each choice will likely cost in days on market.
My home is in an association. Can it be rented?
Often yes, but the declaration has to be read first. Some associations cap the number of rentals, set minimum lease terms or require board approval and a move-in fee. We review the documents before listing and handle the approval as part of leasing.
