Hughes Real Estate, Inc. was founded with one belief: every family deserves a quality, stable place to call home — regardless of where they are in their financial journey.
For over two decades, we've managed a growing portfolio of houses, townhomes, and condos across Champaign, Urbana, Mahomet, and Gibson City. What sets us apart isn't just our properties — it's how we treat the people who live in them.
We're not a faceless corporation. We're a local company that picks up the phone, responds to maintenance requests, and genuinely cares about our residents' well-being.
Honest, transparent relationships with every tenant and partner.
Invested in the neighborhoods and families we serve.
Quality properties maintained to the highest standard.
Hughes Real Estate, Inc. was established with a small portfolio of single-family homes in Champaign. From day one, our focus was on providing clean, affordable housing with responsive management.
Growing demand led us to expand our portfolio into Urbana, offering a wider range of housing types including townhomes and condominiums to serve more families.
Recognizing that many tenants dreamed of owning their homes, we launched our Rent-to-Own program — giving families an accessible path to homeownership with flexible terms and rent credits.
We extended our reach into Mahomet and Gibson City, bringing our trusted management approach to smaller communities where quality rental options were limited.
With over 200 properties managed and hundreds of families served, we continue to grow while staying true to our founding values: quality housing, personal service, and community investment.
From your first application to move-out, we're with you every step of the way.
Every property in our portfolio is inspected, maintained, and held to a high standard of cleanliness and safety before you move in.
Our maintenance team handles requests quickly and professionally. Emergencies are addressed same-day whenever possible.
We believe in giving tenants a path to ownership. Our flexible rent-to-own program has helped dozens of families become homeowners.
We work with tenants facing financial hardship. Talk to us — we'd rather help you stay in your home than see you struggle.
Many of our properties welcome pets. We understand your animals are family, and we work to accommodate them wherever possible.
No hidden fees, no surprises. We're upfront about lease terms, costs, and expectations from day one.
"I've rented with Hughes for three years. Maintenance is always handled quickly and the office staff is incredibly helpful. I recommend them to everyone."
"The rent-to-own program changed everything for us. We now own the home we were renting. Hughes made it possible when we didn't think we had options."
"Moving to Gibson City, I didn't know what to expect. Hughes had a great home, fair price, and they've been easy to work with every step of the way."
