I love the neighborhood, the food, the art and the culture here. It should have more kid friendly things to do but overall it's a beautiful area.

Good up and coming area with new restaurants and young residents. Very close to some more crime ridden neighborhoods but safety is good within the area and very close to transport.

Wonderful place to live in the city. Incredible restaurants/bars, loads of things to do, a wonderful farmer's market, and it definitely is safer than other places I've lived in the city. The 606 is nearby and is easily one of Chicago's best highlights. It's also got a lot of transit -- the East-West busses can take you anywhere and the blue line can take you either right downtown or out to O'Hare quickly and easily.
