Age? From my experience chances are you'll enjoy living in a northern neighborhood in the city proper vs a suburb.

Suburbs are where people go to die (figuratively and literally). If you're single, even less the reason to move out there. (And I say that as a middle aged single guy)

I have a car and live in the city. It's expensive but it's worth it. Chicago is a very very very neighborhood place. You go out where you stay.

I second KPMG. I know it's not the best for saving money but you should live a little if you're just starting out.

You also wouldn't need a car.

Old Town is a good place to be

+1 for Lincoln park, especially if you're under 30

Gold Coast, Old Town, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Wrigleyville if you want cheaper but still fun things to do.

River North!

If you do want to live in the suburbs Oak Park and Evanston are your best bets. Good town down areas and access to the city

Oak park if you want to be near stuff and affordable. Evanston is a little less accessible and more pricey. However, Lincoln park is not to be beat at any age bracket. Yuppie paradise to million dollar single family homes. It's nowhere near affordable if you're just starting out unless you don't have loans or live in a walk up studio.

Well I am not reserved and do need a quiet neighborhood:) Just that I have to keep my vehicle and that's the only reason of not being in the city

*do not need a quiet neighborhood

That's great KPMG 4. Appreciate that attitude.

^im hoping that wasn't sarcasm? Honestly, if you want a place with affordable parking and still with bars and stuff, Irving park and Logan square are great. Depends on your age
