If you’re not averse to a semi-suburban community with urban flair and accessibility, i just moved to Oak Park and absolutely love it. 15 minute ride on green line to downtown, 20 minute uber to both O’Hare and Midway. A 1BR at my luxury apartment building is ~1300/month.

Has anyone else gone back to relying more on public transportation with the surging Uber / Lyft prices. Trips to and from ohare are costing me about as much as the plane tickets themselves, and even simple things like meeting a friend for dinner in another neighborhood ends up costing around $80 in transportation costs. I haven’t taken buses and trains much since I’ve graduated but now it just feels like I’m throwing money out the window by not making the switch back.
