So ready to get out of west loop and move to another north Chicago neighborhood. Great seeing another black woman in north Chicago!

Check out Hyde Park, Bronzeville, Andersonville, and Rogers Park.

Add Hyde Park to the list. I live one block from the lake. I no longer need a car due to the walk ability score. Diverse ethnic groups.

[WillHellmm]

Everything you said about Lincoln Park is so true, amazingly fun and beautiful area with an extremely high price tag. My family moved to the burbs almost a decade ago because the taxes just became too much

[truthhurts]

This video helped so much. I have teenage daughter and its super important to have somewhere safe. My wife and I love to walk our boys. I hope we can move into one of the neighborhoods with not a lot of diversity to bring diversity to the neighborhood. Thank you for all of this videos

[JMilansJourney]

As a Chicago native (now living out of state) looking for part time places I must say you are spot on!

Moving to Chicago in 2 months right before my birthday 🎂

[GrayCarper]

Thank you so much for this very helpful video! My wife and I are moving from Hong Kong to Chicago this summer and the criteria you used to judge neighborhoods mirrors our own. Diversity and easy access to the El / trains (since we won't have a car either) are top of our list and I'm curious if you'd recommend we consider any other neighborhoods beyond what you've included here. Thanks so much again!

I live in Edison Park, extremely safe, yea it’s further out, but with buses and blue line I can go anywhere!❤️

[MVLiving]

Thank you for making this video. Full of helpful information.

Avondale, Uptown, Logan Square, Pilsen are my favorites. Resident of Chicago for 8 years. I lived in River North and it wasn't for me. I have to work downtown and I like coming home to community.

[terrencewalker]

Not from Chicago but I only been there once and that was it which was last month. I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio where most people wouldn't bother you as much in Downtown areas but always be careful wherever you want. I love my state of Ohio but it could be brutal cold in the winter.

[pavsnuero]

I agree we need more diversity in the North 😂 thanks for sharing!! 🔥🔥

[Arissaever]

really appreciate this video and your channel! I WFH and Chicago is one of cities that my job will allow me to move to, so this is really helpful. I am visiting for the first time this weekend and am hoping to make the move when my lease ends next year.

[BGNK]

I'm moving to Rogers Park in December and I've seen all very positive reviews of it

[foo]

Love your channel, you’re super cool. Thanks for this video

[skyestinson]

My bf is born and raised in wicker park (37). He tells me stories about how it used to be a “low income” neighborhood with a lot of violence and that it was a heavily Hispanic community. Around the early 2000s is when he started really seeing the gentrification of the neighborhood. Seeing it now, I refuse to believe him 😂

[russellmeyers]

I hope she says portage Park cuz that was a good I know I was raised and it was one of the quietest neighborhoods

[headlessprofessor]

I like your videos. I have lived in Hyde Park, Woodlawn, Uptown, and now Gold Coast. Nothing beats Gold Coast for quality of life.

[MarkMonforti]

Like the video a lot, but the magnitude of double comparisons/redundancies is high. more older, more pricey, closer in proximity?

And montrose is mispronounced. Glad to have you as a neighbor and welcome
