Where does the Desi crowd primarily live in Chicago (just the city not suburbs). I was looking to move to Lincoln Park/lake view but was told it's mostly young college kids. Any recommendations ?

Presidential Tower. 😂

Very true

Lincoln Park is good. Yes it’s relatively for younger crowd due to DePaul. Lakeview, Belmont, Wicker Park, Logan Square, Wriggleyville are some of the good neighborhoods in the north. If you want live closer to the lake and it’s beauty, then lakeview, LP, Belmont are your best bet.

If you want to live in the city then River-north, Loop. But all these are not like “desi” neighborhoods like you see in suburbs. Desis are everywhere in these neighborhoods but not concentrated.

Presidential towers is an exception 😀

Really? Does Lakeview really have a good desi population? We bought a house and moved here in March and haven’t seen any desis around. I would love to join a group or something...would love to make some new friends in the neighborhood :(

We lived in lakeview/buena park for couple of years. At the time I didn’t see many desis or desi restaurants. But more restaurants have popped up since we left.

In and around Devon

Desis are pretty spread out if you are looking at the downtown or nearby neighborhoods. Except Presidential towers of course! I live in south loop and have a few desis living in my apartment building. Lincoln park and Lakeview are great neighborhoods and I would live there whether there are desis around or not!

I live in West Loop. There are very few in my apartment but many a few blocks away at PT :)

South loop! Lots here!
