Which area is good for a single in Chicago?

I accept the job offer in Chicago, I never visit or live.

Anyone can share some thoughts?

I am hoping to visit Chicago when the quarantine is not required by local governments.

I guess I need to relocate to Chicago in May or June.

I would live on the L line to take you to the loop. Lakeview has Wrigley Field and a bunch of college bars. Or you can live on a metra line and commute from the burbs

Lived in Chicago for 6 years
No 🚗 public transit is reliable

Where I lived
• wrigleyville - lots of bros, bar crawls, people under 25 partying
• wicker park - easily my favorite, tons of great bars restaurants art galleries, near 606 trail, great park
•old Town - super close to the loop/financial district/work, some descent restaurants, tons of high rises, young professionals and old chicagoans with $$$, least neighborhoody/friendly place I lived
•Logan square - solid neighborhood, reasonably priced, great location, mix of ages (easy to get to work and other fun neighborhoods)

Feel free to DM any questions

How is the work culture at Synechron, Bangalore? How is the job security?
