    I’m not satisfied with the responsiveness/willingness of maintenance to help residents when called upon. Call box hasn’t worked in months and there are constant bugs in our kitchen as well as in other units.

Top neighborhoods in Chicago

North Side
North Side
What it’s like to live in North Side
Chicago's diverse North Side encompasses everything from Wrigleyville's baseball energy to Lincoln Park's upscale shopping and Andersonville's Swedish heritage. Lake Michigan beaches and extensive park systems provide outdoor recreation throughout these neighborhoods, while historic theaters like the Riviera and Aragon Ballroom host national touring acts. Rental options range from vintage courtyard buildings with surprising architectural details to ultra-modern high-rises with lakefront views, creating opportunities across various price points and aesthetic preferences. Though winter parking challenges increase with snow accumulation, excellent public transportation including multiple L lines reduces car dependency compared to outlying neighborhoods. The area's density means competition for premier units moves quickly, requiring decisive action when ideal rentals become available in these desirable neighborhoods.

What it’s like to live in West Side
Creative renters find inspiration in West Side Chicago, where industrial lofts and converted warehouses offer expansive space at significantly lower costs than downtown options. The neighborhood's renaissance continues through artist-led initiatives transforming former manufacturing districts into vibrant communities with gallery spaces and performance venues. Many buildings feature soaring ceilings and freight elevators perfect for artists working with larger materials or installations. Though some areas show transitional character with block-by-block variation, the authentic Chicago experience contrasts with more homogenized neighborhoods, and excellent public transportation connections provide easy access to downtown cultural institutions and employment centers without parking challenges.

What it’s like to live in South Side
Cultural richness defines Chicago's South Side, where diverse neighborhoods showcase everything from historic grandeur in Hyde Park to authentic working-class character in Bridgeport. Rental options vary dramatically across this extensive region spanning multiple distinctive communities each with unique identity. While the area offers excellent access to both downtown via multiple transit options and Lake Michigan recreation, conditions vary significantly between specific neighborhoods requiring research into particular streets and blocks. Most suitable for urban enthusiasts comfortable researching specific sub-districts who appreciate authentic Chicago character beyond tourist-oriented neighborhoods and recognize the remarkable value available in many South Side communities despite varied investment levels.
