I loved living in Uptown! Tons of live music venues, a HUGE beach with paddleboarding & birdwatching, diverse community, awesome food options
I lived in Uptown when it was very sketchy. It's much nicer now. But nowadays there's no place to park. I was doing shows at a theater (now closed) on Broadway and sometimes I had to circle for 1/2 hour before I found a spot, especially if there was something going on at the Aragon. Plus, they started making all the side streets permit only. I quit doing shows there for that reason.
Yesss, I lived in Uptown for like 6-7 years so I have a special place in my heart for it. Just be mindful of the scary pockets lol
I’ve been living within Chicago city limits for well over 20 years; take this video with a huge grain of salt, because what you don’t know about Chicago neighborhoods CAN and WILL hurt you.
EXACTLY. The entire city is living up to its nickname from the 1980s: Beirut on the Lake.
I grew up in Evanston and have lived in the Chicago area for 50+ years. You forgot my favorite neighborhood where I lived for 16 years - Edgewater! I could write several paragraphs here, so I will leave it to your viewers to PLEASE explore this amazing area within walking distance of Loyola University, the Lake, awesome public transportation, diverse population and restaurants.
I have never lived on the South Side, but I've been to areas like Archer Heights and Garfield Ridge. They have some hidden gems. My own neighborhood, Belmont Gardens, is sandwiched in between Avondale, Old Irving, Belmont Cragin and Logan Square. It's not well known, but that's no surprise. We have no cool retail, the most likely food choices are taquerias or fast food (although there are two nice breakfast places within walking distance) and most of the homes are very modest bungalows, nothing fancy. But don't misunderstand me, we *love* our bungalows and many of us have gotten them certified historic by the Bungalow Association. Our best asset is the neighbors. It's a very stable area, with many families having been here for 15+ years. We look out for each other and when one of us needs help, multiple neighbors are right there, ready to pitch in. One North Side neighborhood that seems to also be underrated is Albany Park. It has it all: diversity, great food, amazing green space (Ronan Park and River Park) and very walkable. Thanks for posting this very nice video!
Rogers Park is transit rich close to the lake with easy EXPRESS access to downtown Chicago and Evanston. Loyola AND northwestern sandwich the neighborhood It is ridiculously undervalued.
Still? I lived there in the 90s but I assumed it would gentrified.
Totally agree on Bronzeville, lots of new developments coming up. 👍👍👍
? Do those developments include around the clock security??
@@colettequinones4106 no it doesn't. Continue to stay away.
@@DailyRants89 Stay away...wow but thanks...I thought the crime had decreased...but i guess not right @colettequinones4106
Yea bronzeville is still trashh . High crime and shooting still near that area and in bronzeville
Any neighborhoods on the South and West Sides?
Avondale. Hermosa. Portage Park. Belmont Cragin. All great and underrated Northwest side neighborhoods. Don’t think Uptown is necessarily underrated just a bit sketchy still. People are cautious. Can’t blame them. Old Irving has actually been on the radar for many but might be getting a bit too late to buy some real estate as the prices have been skyrocketing the past few years for its proximity to Lakeview. Good picks though.
Nailed it. All great neighborhoods - I grew up in Portage and it's changed a lot since then. Thanks for watching!
How is Uptown sketchy lol
@@Clementinee You must not be originally from Chicago lol
How safe is Bronzeville? I'm a Detroiter thinking of moving to the Chicago area.
@@RobertSpiller Hey Robert. Bronzeville is actually on the borderline between semi-safe and semi-not safe. Not the worst place in the city but crime is definitely present. It’s located on the Southside of the city so shouldn’t be surprising to anyone. I’ll tell you one thing though. It’s recently rumored to be gentrifying with wealthy middle class and upper middle class black individuals just like the neighboring area of Hyde Park already is and has been. Also where Obama lived for several years as he was a professor at the University of Chicago there. If I’m correct, a lot of the wealthy black population from Hyde Park are leaving and settling in Bronzeville for the cheaper estate and rent. If you’re thinking about jumping ship from Detroit I would do so rather sooner than later before an all out mass gentrification happens and the costs start skyrocketing in Bronzeville too.
I'm a second-generation Chicagoan who grew up on the Southside and moved to Uptown a year ago. LOVE the neighborhood right on the lake beaches, in between Andersonville and Boystown, and full of culture. I'm Puerto Rican, but I still wouldn't live in Humboldt Park as it gets better and worse at the same time.
I Love Bronzeville the Harlem of Chicago, IL. (southside)
Born & raised in Bronzeville. I at times miss it there.
@@twilliamswithluv Phillips High 1976 Wildcats. (smile)
@@maureencora1 I attended Phillips in 1991 for the year. My uncle however graduated from there I think I’m the early 60s
@@twilliamswithluv Cool.
No Ukrainian Village? Serously?
Brighton Park
I IMMEDIATELY went straight to the comments because that's where you learn the truth from REAL Chicagoans
You forgot about Beverly and Mount Greenwood
Many people overlook them because they are basically suburban in function, like many neighbourhoods that are directly adjacent suburbs
I only agree about Bronzeville and Old Irving Park. The other places are not the best.
Not a fan of Uptown?
@@PeterNicieja Not all parts of it. I was in a drive by shooting in Uptown.
@silver33 hanging with the wrong crowd maybe
@@colihon3552 No I wasn't. I was just walking to the train station on Sunday mid afternoon.
@@silver33 weird I didn't hear it but ok smh
Rogers Park is incredibly dirty. And dangerous at night as well. I lived there. Glad I don’t anymore.
I lived there for ten years and never had a problem. It was only while visiting my gf in Lakeview that I got jacked.
Yeah he's forgetting about portage Park
Yes, great neighborhood!
Is the winters that bad there how do you live there like that i heard it gets brutal
they're not as bad as they used to. To sum it up it was 80 degrees in feb. this year
It’s not bad at all. Gets cold but barely snows
The winters are great once you mentally adjust
Lots to do in all seasons, so winter is just inside time.
Hi I am a student and I am from India. I will be coming to Chicago in December and I don’t know how to find apartments so can you suggest me some apps or links from where I can find rental apartments.
I recommend looking on zillow, apartment.com, and even facebook
Which uni?
if you’re indian there’s an area in west rogers park called little india, check it out.
are you coming for university? which neighborhood?
West rogers park is for indian immigrants who don't have a degree. If you're a tech bro, your neighborhood is west loop. Yuppie heaven
OK, this was a really good video, but Humboldt Park is a shit hole… the park itself is beautiful, but the fact that it’s basically the seat for the Latin kings will always make it hell on earth
I lived in uptown and witnessed 5 driveby shootings.
no you didn't stop lying lol
@@colihon3552 you can look up the news for uptown in 2021 I lived on Sheridan and Wilson.
@@colihon3552 I replied to you earlier but I lived on Sheridan and Wilson in 2021. It was a hard time then. You can look up the news for that time.
@GeekRemix ok I quess I'm just not scary and seeing a couple of dudes outside the train station doesn't faze me. I'm from the south side and still live there. This is my part-time crib up here girlfriend. this is suburbia, lmao .all these gay, white, African, Indian people don't exist where I come from I like the different people
ALL of these neighborhoods are high-crime areas.
Absolutely none of these neighborhoods are underrated.
If you know you know.
People overlook Rogers Park because it sucks, in addition to being too far north. Uptown also sucks. These neighborhoods are high crime, the worst two neighborhoods on the north side. Uptown also has the misfortune of bein overrun with homeless crazy people, yet still expensive. Easily one of worst deals in the city.
I appreciate your feedback. You're right, they aren't the right neighborhoods for everybody.
I've been living in Roger Park for 8 years. My friends and I have never had any issues besides the very occasional homeless yelling at us. And it's incredibly affordable compared to other neighborhoods. Sure, it's far from the loop, but after Covid, I barely have to commute to the loop anymore.
only place I see homeless in uptown is by the train station. heard its shelters over here
