Top neighborhoods in Chicago

  • Downtown Chicago

    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.

    • Young Professionals
    • Tech Workers

  • Far Southeast Side

    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.

  • Far Southwest Side

    Far Southwest Side

    What it’s like to live in Far Southwest Side

    Far Southwest Side offers single-family homes with yards at more accessible rates than northern or central Chicago neighborhoods. Many properties feature classic Chicago bungalows and ranches with architectural details reflecting solid workmanship. While downtown commutes take longer than from closer-in neighborhoods and transit options are more limited, residents enjoy more living space, better parking situations, and stronger community ties than typically found in higher-density Chicago districts.
