Dude just showed off the richest, whitest, yuppiest neighborhoods in the city. The vast majority of people could never afford to live in these neighborhoods

He's a real-estate agent who said he has serviced the downtown area for 10 years. Of course those are the areas he is going to show. He's not seeking the vast majority he's marketing to the people who can afford that area, that's where he makes his money.

@@eamonkelley3811 he also traced “Chicago” and it was about 1/4 of Chicago that he said was Chicago. And the video is titled “where to live In Chicago.” Not “where to live in Chicago if you make $750,000 or more per year. It’s out of touch

He shows you at time 2:30. If you have money, you want to stay north of that red line (how ironic)😂, and west of I-294.

Thanks for this video! I think it was great and i enjoy videos like this about cities in moving to. 😊 It made me think about some neighborhoods i never thought I'd like!

Where/what has the best harmony as far as cost-effectiveness/affordability, strategic location that is equidistant to most places in the city, as well as safety? Some of this can be relative, but I really think Pilsen, Bridgeport & Mckinley park are strategic - you can go to downtown, the northside, and far southside, as well as a quick exit out of the city heading west. They are reasonably safe but border some shady areas in Little Village, Back of the Yards & Armor Square. The city neighborhood borders almost always resemble suburbs, so they are the least geographically strategic, but places like the northwest side are usually safer. Where do you recommend a blue-collar single man to rent or buy? I know the city rather well & can't seem to afford anything. The interest rates are high even if you have a good credit score and history.

I was in Elmwood Park this past weekend...and I fell in love with it. I'm going to visit it again in a few months to get a better feel for it.

Super appreciate this video, planning a move to Chicago after I graduate college so this is really helpful

It's gotten worse just in the last few years, even in nice neighborhoods people get mugged, beaten, cars get stolen, carjackings at a red light, more and more homeless, excrement at bus stops, I implore you to stay in the suburbs it's only going to get worse

I own 2 rental homes in Logan Square, and I am thinking of selling one and retire. Should I wait a few years when the rates are better? FYI, I'm not in a rush.

Hey Carlos - great question. I certainly have some thoughts here, feel free to text me at 312-805-7074 and we can discuss in more detail.

I got a question for you! What would you tell someone who wants to make the leap but they live so far away that’s in near impossible to have a job lined up before moving. I’m talking Alaska far. We’d have a saving that could last us 2 years, I don’t think I’d have any problem securing employment once there, but I know a lot of companies want you to have a job. Would work history + savings work?

I live right north of the trump tower just moved last month

Do you all just do sales? Or renting to? Looking to move in a few months, but likely want to rent the first year while I get acclimated.

I can say my wife and I are jumping in. We are not as far. But unsure about her job once there at this time. We are renting for a year to figure things out.

Super expensive with super old buildings & amenities imo

What are the more conservative neighborhoods in Chicago that are west,Nort-NorthWest of the River? Looking for Brown/Grey Stone $450k - $525K

How do these neighborhoods rank in terms of diversity?

He only covered the wealthier, white homogenous areas in this video for some reason. They're beautiful areas but arent as dynamic or fun or diverse as the Northwest side in my opinion. I do spend a lot of time in lincoln park and lake view for random shopping and stuff. I don't live far at all, just lik ten mins down Ashland/North Ave from Lincoln Park. I live in wicker park/west town and it has to be one of the best neighborhoods/areas in the entire nation. Logan Square is also great. Chicago is such a beautiful amazing city in general. No place is perfect, but I've lived in the South East and the West Coast and nothing compares except maybe New York or SF or LA.. Chicago weather is terrible for at least a third of the year though. And the access to nature isn't great outside what lake Michigan provides. All my personal takes of course.

​@@fatherofamirThe reason he doesn't want you to, is because he doesn't want people to move to Chicago, no matter the reason. This city has beautiful architecture with a midwestern culture and robust trainsit, parks, and a mix of housing cost, styles, types, and more.
