West Loop/Fulton Market area

What are you looking for in a neighborhood? Hyde park is great, but if you're looking for bars, restaurants and a little bit more of a social scene its not the location you want to be in. Also, you're taking the metra or a bus, no L which isn't the most convenient - unless you own a car which still isn't the most convenient in Chicago. Overall is diverse and does have a neighborhood feel and some get restaurants but again depends on what you're looking for in your location.

Hyde Park is fine, but you’re in a bubble with a lot of pretty bad areas surrounding Hyde Park. Depends on what you’re looking for. Younger and want more going out, Wicker Park, West Loop, River North, Lincoln Park could be options. Looking for a quieter vibe but still has some life? Roscoe Village, Lincoln Square, Noble Square are all good spots. Lived in Chicago nearly all my life and each neighborhood has its ups and downs, just check the crime reports to see where you really don’t want to be

Even if you're ubering, getting to and from Hyde park will be very terrible.

C2, Hyde Park is not dangerous, it is just an island and surrounding areas are. U of C essentially owns the entire neighborhood and has a private police force patrolling it. Don’t talk out of your ass. That said, would be super far away from the airport and nightlife so would not recommend for a consultant.

I would recommend Roscoe Village, North Center, Lakeview West. Great safe neighborhoods. A couple Whole Foods, Trader Joes... friendly to the downtown and ORD commute. Lots of places have good square footage. Some even offer backyard and/or rooftop space. Parks are plentiful! I know a great realtor if you’re interested.

M1 is right, need more context, lots of great options depending on your needs.

Well really I’m looking for good square footage for the money and convenient to downtown. I’ll take an Uber to ORD that’s not an issue. Wanna walk to the parks, etc.... not really a bar person. Close to a Whole Foods would be ideal

Will you travel for work? If you’re cool with SWA, Midway isn’t too bad but ORD will be a bitch to get to from Hyde Park

Lake Shore East

Wicker park or west Lincoln park

What’s your budget? Looking for a 1BR apt?

I'm in River North but will likely buy in Lakeview East. Close to downtown, close to the beaches, tons of nightlife within walking distance, etc

Hyde park is dangerous! Go more up north
