Ike Sims Village
3331 W Maypole Ave, Chicago, IL 60624
Ike Sims Village is an income-based apartment property for families and individuals at 3331 W Maypole Ave in Chicago, IL. 199 of its 200 apartments are subsidized, in 1, 2 and 3-bedroom sizes.

How to apply to Ike Sims Village

- Ask for an application. The property keeps its own waiting list; the housing authority's voucher list is a different line.

- Program
- Project-based Section 8
- Who can live here
- HUD lists this as general or family housing. Ask the office about household eligibility and how it assigns apartment sizes; a unit count is not an offer of an apartment.
- Rent
- Residents pay about 30% of their adjusted income toward rent and a HUD contract with the property covers the rest. HUD's resident data records an average payment of $335 a month toward rent and utilities. This historical average is not a current asking rent or a quote for your household.
- Subsidized apartments by size
- 99 1-bedroom, 80 2-bedroom, 20 3-bedroom
- Other apartments
- One of the 200 apartments is not covered by the HUD contract. Ask the office whether they are rental units, what rent applies and whether a Housing Choice Voucher can be used.
- Historical move-ins
- About 7% of households had moved in within the past year in the resident data held by HUD. This does not predict openings, waiting time or the current status of the waiting list.

If you already have a housing voucher
A Housing Choice Voucher pays part of the rent in a privately owned apartment you find yourself. It cannot be used in an apartment that is already subsidized, so the 199 income-based apartments here are not an option for it. Browse landlords in Chicago who accept vouchers or see Section 8 rent limits and housing authorities in Cook County.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I apply to Ike Sims Village?
- Apply to the property, not to the housing authority. Call the office at (773) 638-1818 and ask whether the waiting list is open and how to get an application. Ike Sims Village keeps its own waiting list, separate from the Section 8 voucher list. Expect to show ID, Social Security numbers and proof of income for everyone in the household.
- What is the income limit for Ike Sims Village?
- Most admissions to project-based Section 8 are for very low income households (50% of area median or less). Limited admissions above that level may be allowed within the low income limit. At least 40% of assisted units becoming available in a fiscal year must go to extremely low income households. The applicable admission rules depend on the contract; the office verifies eligibility (24 CFR 5.653). In Cook County the FY2026 very low income limit is $42,550 a year for one person and $60,750 for a household of four.
- How much is rent at Ike Sims Village?
- Residents pay about 30% of their adjusted income toward rent and a HUD contract with the property covers the rest. HUD's resident data records an average payment of $335 a month toward rent and utilities. This historical average is not a current rent quote. Your own share is calculated from your household's income when you move in and again each year.
- Do I need a Section 8 voucher to live at Ike Sims Village?
- No. This is Project-based Section 8: the assistance is attached to the apartment, not to the tenant, so it is there when you move in and stays behind when you move out. One apartment is not subsidized; ask the office whether a Housing Choice Voucher can be used there.
