February 5, 200719 yr How old are you? There are always trendy areas for younger people like Lincoln Park, Bucktown, Lakeview, South Port. What kind of place are you looking for besdies having directv?

February 6, 200719 yr Its sounds like Printers Row, South Loop, Museum campus etc is the hot area around downtown.
February 6, 200719 yr Author I am actually taking a liking to West Loop these days.....Newer units, up and coming area.

In the west loop which is one of the more popular places for people working in the loop to live now a days. I either walk 5 blocks to work or I take the bus. Either way its a 12 min commute. I bought a 2 bed 2 bath condo with a parking space last dec for a good price. I would always recommend my neighborhood. Also its very easy access to get to US Cellular.

How far down on west madison???
February 6, 200719 yr If you're looking to buy, go just west of Western, between Harrison and Roosevelt. Sure parts of the area are still kinda shady, but if you wait it out, the value of your place should boom. After the upcoming construction season, a lot of those old properties should be converted. There is also a blue line stop, the 290 and a few bus lines nearby.
February 6, 200719 yr Bridgeport village.View of the river,beautiful new homes,close to the loop,up and coming neighborhood,and of course its 2 minutes from the cell.

February 6, 200719 yr If you want a short commute to downtown, reasonable prices for a condo, fun stuff to do and easy transportation access... Bucktown is a good call. Not cheap, but not as expensive as LP, River North or Streeterville. I live a few blocks from the blue line - 10 minutes to downtown. Also a few blocks from the Metra UP-N and UP-NW lines - 8 minutes to downtown. Near the Kennedy. And I can walk to dozens of restaurants and bars, a movie theatre, health club, etc. within a mile. And, your friends can actually find parking on the street in a lot of areas, unlike the aforementioned other neighborhoods. No high rises - less dense, but still urban. Its pretty perfect, as far as I'm concerned.
