Booking a place for a few weeks or months is a different problem than booking a hotel for a few nights: the details that matter change completely. We manage professionally run furnished rentals across Chicago, with a smaller collection in California, and every home is move-in ready from the day you arrive.
Every home is built around how our guests actually use it. That means a dedicated workspace with Wi-Fi that can handle a video call, a full kitchen instead of a mini fridge, and enough room to settle in rather than just pass through. It’s a setup that works for business travelers on assignment, families navigating a relocation, and anyone who wants a real home base while they get to know a new city, without signing a year-long lease.
We also manage a small collection of furnished homes in California for guests who want that same standard of care outside of Chicago.
Whether you’re taking on a work assignment, relocating with your family, staying for a few months, or simply giving yourself time to experience a new city, Elated Homes gives you more than a place to sleep. Our fully furnished homes give you the space, comfort, and everyday essentials to live, work, and settle in without the commitment of a traditional lease.
From the energy of Chicago to the comfort of a home in California, Elated Homes gives you a furnished place to settle in, not just a room to sleep in. Choose a neighborhood that fits the way you want to live, whether you’re here for work, relocation, family, or simply more time to explore.

Elated Homes was founded by Christian Bell, whose background in design and construction gives him a practical eye for what makes a space comfortable, functional, and easy to live in. That experience influences everything from the way a home is laid out and furnished to how it is maintained between stays.
Because when you’re staying somewhere for a few weeks or a few months, the details aren’t small. They are what make a furnished rental feel like home.
Christian Bell is a professional civil engineer with a lifelong appreciation for architecture, thoughtful design, and how well-built spaces shape the way people live and travel. His background in engineering brings a detail-oriented, quality-first mindset to Elated Homes, ensuring each property is not only beautiful, but functional, reliable, and carefully curated.
Beyond engineering, Christian is deeply passionate about real estate investing and hospitality. He founded Elated Homes to create places that feel elevated yet comfortable—homes designed for people who value great locations, clean design, and a seamless living experience whether they’re staying for weeks or months.
When he’s not working on projects or refining properties, Christian enjoys snowboarding, traveling, cooking great food, exercising, biking, and hiking. He’s always on the lookout for new restaurants to try and new places to explore. At home, he and his wife stay busy raising their three cats, who make sure life never gets too quiet.
Jacky So is a civil engineer with a life dedicated to design. His father was in construction, so he was always in construction sites at a young age. Growing up, he owned a small niche Tumblr focused on design inspirations. Additionally, he was enamored with the bustling growth of Silicon Valley with the development of so many new tech campuses and apartment complexes. He eventually understood design will be a large part of his life, but his latent talents were in math, so he combined both and became a civil engineer. His intense and high maintenance personality allows him to create the perfect environment for himself, and all his guests.
Beyond engineering, Jacky has a burning interest in real estate investing. He founded Elated Homes with Christian with the goal of providing rentals that meet his own high standards, as so many failed to meet his expectations.
Outside of design and real estate, Jacky has a very diverse group of interests. He loves sports, and stays active. Basketball and baseball are his favorite. He loves to travel. His most unique experience was a dental mission trip to Jamaica. He also loves to stay indoors and play video games with his friends, or playing world building games when alone. His most random and niche interest is vertical farming.
