My wife and I are looking to buy a home in Bucktown close to N Western ave at W Armitage Ave. Any one here living in the area and open to tell more about it? Specifically want to know more about:
What is the typical age group here? Is it a good area to start and raise a family? How is the neighborhood? Is it a diverse neighborhood? Also how would you compare this with West town/Wicker park area? Happy to also chat privately or provide more clarity. Home price ~ $650-700k
