I live in and really like Old Town Park. For a 1 bedroom, you may have to extend your budget slightly.

Just buy, since a lot of people moved out, the city has become cheaper in terms of real estate.

In due time after covid, it will spike

I HIGHLY recommend Cobbler Square Lofts. It’s a renovated Dr Scholl’s factory. Solid amenities, massive units, and extremely reasonable pricing. I pay ~$2400/month for 1000 sq ft.

Are you under the age of 25? If not consider carefully, the area has changed during covid and is more akin to wriggleyville than what it has normally been like in the last 5 years? Maybe that's changed/changing with rents rising again.

Depends where you live in old town. For me brown was an additional 20 min walk (and you have to hang out by the Sedgwick stop which is much shadier (especially at night). And it runs less often and didn't go where I needed. So wasn't a viable options. Bus options weren't much better.

Currently trying to sublet a 1 bedroom in that area. My lease was struck at $1,950 during COVID and is well below market. Building is comparable quality / amenities to Old Town Park, and is 2 blocks east of the south end of Wells St. DM me if you want the details.
