Top neighborhoods in Chicago

Far North Side
Far North Side
What it’s like to live in Far North Side
International diversity thrives across Chicago's Far North Side, where neighborhoods like Rogers Park and West Ridge showcase global influences through authentic restaurants, markets, and community institutions. Rental options include courtyard buildings, vintage walk-ups, and divided houses with more space than similarly priced properties closer to downtown. While the area offers excellent access to both Lake Michigan beaches and multiple transit options, commutes to Loop employment can take 45+ minutes despite good transportation connections. Particularly appealing to budget-conscious renters who value authentic diversity beyond marketing-created "international" atmospheres and appreciate genuine neighborhood character without corresponding rental premiums despite the distance from downtown attractions.

What it’s like to live in Far Southeast Side
Far Southeast Side offers significantly more affordable housing options than northern or central Chicago neighborhoods. Many homes feature surprisingly large lots with actual yards – a rarity in much of Chicago. While downtown commutes require longer transit times and some commercial areas need investment, residents enjoy genuine community connection, substantially more living space, and excellent access to Lake Michigan beaches with less crowding than northside shorelines.
