Moving from NYC to Chicago. Not sure what locations to look at. But wanting to find a studio or one bedroom in a good area, close to the action and all amenities. What's a reasonable price to set?

This may be a shock moving from NYC but you can afford a place with a real bedroom in Chicago. It'll have a door and everything.

My friends have a sweet 1BR in river north for $1800. As to your previous point of how things feel quiet... generally that'll be like how every place in Chicago feels compared to NYC

Not looking to share with others, at least until I see what the price will be. I've been living with a roommate since college and looking to finally get my own spot. Feel free to talk me out of it

You will be shocked how much you can get compared to NYC. As for area specifically, depends what you want. How old/what type of vibe are you looking for? Old Town or Gold Coast are good for late 20s, but they'll be a bit pricier. Rule of thumb as you go north of the river (River North, Gold Coast, Old Town, Lincoln Park, Lake View) you get younger crowds and cheaper housing. If you go west of the river to Logan Square or Wicker Park it's more "trendy" (also diverse, which I like; the aforementioned areas pretty much only have white people) but rents are still fairly high

24 turning 25 this year. I have only been to Chicago twice and both times I never really got to explore. Stayed at the W and found the area boring and quiet at night. I'm looking to be conveniently close to amenities, transportation, and always down for a cool vibe and in the action. Also I'm moving and have very few friends in the area so anything that'll help facilitate that as well would be ideal.

Lincoln park for the yuppies

1br... pry $2200... id stay on the north side of river north, south part of Lincoln park or somewhere in old town. Gold Coast has gotten kind of meh.

Loop life

1br over $2000 should allow you to get some "extra" as in downtown location, nice finished and some space. Fine with being a little further north in Lincoln Park or Lakeview? Or even Wicker? That can be accomplished for more like $1800

River north!

Is it too ambitious to find a place in the 1100-1500$ range? Zillow has some spots popping up within these ranges in river north, Lincoln park and old town.

I live in the loop right by the river and only pay 1400. #views

Old town and RN are more expensive than LP. I would say $1500 is doable in RN and Old Town but it won't be the nicest building.

I hear that there are some good deals on the South side, as long as you don't mind wearing a Kevlar vest.

Just depends if you want new/renovated or you're ok with an older building or no doorman/etc

Kpmg3 where are you living?
