Single 35 M, going to be moving to Chicago in the spring. What are the best neighborhoods to consider if I’m looking to meet other late 20s - early 30s singles?

River north, Lincoln park, wicker park, west loop

I would also add lakeview, Logan square, bucktown, and maybe even loop/south loop! Tbh it really depends on your vibe and what you’re looking for bc each neighborhood attracts certain types of people to it.

Great advice! Haha. But I've been here for quite some time and still no progress. I wonder what's wrong with me. Lol

Depends on the kind of person you want to meet. Loop, river north, streeterville maybe Lincoln park if you’re looking for the more successful singles. Wicker, Logan etc if you don’t care.

I graduated from a top business school not too long ago and can almost count on one hand the number of peers who stayed in the Loop, River North, or Streeterville. Anyone who did has an office nearby and has to go in. The majority of us are in Lincoln Park, West Loop, Bucktown, Wicker, or other West Town neighborhoods; there are plenty of highly successful professionals in the age range OP provided in these neighborhoods, and each of them has plenty to offer. It almost seems as if your idea of success is working in IB…

River North, Streeterville, Lake View, Andersonville (if you want something tucked away/quieter)

You’ll find them anywhere on the north side basically south of wrigley (Addison), north of the river (Kinzie), and east of wicker / west loop (Ashland). Obviously you can find them elsewhere, but that’s the bulk.

Obviously that’s a wide range, but from there just find the neighborhood that fits your vibe with a place you like and can afford. Don’t overengineer this - you can date someone from Gold Coast if you live in Lakeview and Vice versa

I’m 26f in river north and I love it here!!
