Please stay away from big management companies. I don’t want to mention their names but one of them is so popular in lake view area, they manage almost 50 buildings. I was paying $1550 for a 1 bedroom. For renewal they e-mailed me 7.5% (125$) increase for 2025. Their 90$ utility package does not include electric and gas (+ heat source is electric, December bill was $130 and still cold). They advertised the unit next to my door lower than what i’m paying in 2024. When i realized and told them, they changed the price on Zillow. I’m considering to go further north like irving park, ravenswood.
You mean there is a preference for nicer neighborhoods? Yes that’s how most people measure good neighborhoods. The south and west sides are great if you don’t leave your home and don’t care about high crime and nothing of interest for people of means to do.
Speaking as a Chicago resident, these are obvious picks. But thank goodness my neighborhood wasn't mentioned.

Are you from Wicker Park?
I lived across from the Stop Along, 1835 N Milwaukee. Great place but haven’t been back
The Gold Coast is no longer in proximity to the things that were once very desirable.
Question....the West Loop......that didn't make the cut?
Great content
Logan square
The answer is none, is too expensive and not as good as the suburbs.
Typical Northside bias
