Top neighborhoods in Chicago

  • West Side

    West Side

    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.

    Downtown Chicago

    What it’s like to live in Downtown Chicago

    Skyline energy pulses through The Loop's canyon-like streets. Renters in converted office towers enjoy rooftop pools but face 2AM garbage truck noise. Winter wind tunnels off Lake Michigan test cold tolerance.

    Far Southeast Side

    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.
