I work near millennium park, in person 3 days a week. Which neighborhood do you recommend? Not looking for a big clubby or hipster scene like river north or Logan square etc. west loop seems like great food but too expensive for a one bedroom and too much of a concrete jungle

No clue why everyone is suggesting lakeshore east, aka the least neighborhoody neighborhood in Chicago.
If you want high rises with 30% occupancy bc all the units are owned by foreign investors, yeah lakeshore east is your jam. But there is nothing to do there otherwise.

Cool, one shopping center surrounded by empty high rise buildings! Exactly what I look for in a neighborhood

came here to say Lakeshore East 😄

Lakeshore East is convenient and the apartment buildings are certainly nice but it is completely without soul. Really depends on what you value.

South Loop is an option as well~ multiple buses that go up and down Michigan directly

Lakeview, straight shot down the lakefront, pick your method of transport.

- How old are you?
- Are you married, single, kids, etc? Guessing no kids if you're looking at one-bedrooms?
- Do you have a dog?
- Do you have a car?

If you like good food, lower prices (compared to west loop at least) but don't want to go full hipster, check out things off the California / Western blue line stops of Logan Square / Bucktown.

I guess it depends on how far down randolph we're talking, but I used to walk to the Aon center from the Washington stop for a little while and it wasn't too bad. You can cut through Block 37 so you're only looking at like 3 blocks outside. If OP is more on the Michigan side of the park then even easier.

South Loop. Some nice lofts on and around Michigan Avenue.

South loop is a good option. Check out the prairie district neighborhood for quick access to the lake.

Bucktown?

Interviewer asked what my current salary / bonus is and I told them.

I got the offer and it’s exactly the same base/bonus as my current role. (Though they’ll also give me so stock options in the private company).

Can you share what is reasonable % increase to get for salary / bonus when switching jobs? I know the team really likes me.
