I'm from Manhattan. Chicago's skyline looks better. NYC is massive but not pretty. Too many skylines. Lower Manhattan, Midtown, Long Island City, Jersey City. It's hard to get a good picture unless you're on a sky deck. New Yorkers are going to hate this comment. Chicago looks better especially driving north on Lakeshore drive.
This gentleman should do stand-up comedy.🤣
Reason 1) the gangs are the most violent in the country. They will kill you in the street so you won’t really have any problems. I can’t believe you really said the Chicago public school district 😂 Reason 2) the migrants will do your landscaping cheaper than typical illegals. Reason 3) it’s now worse than St. Louis and Detroit.
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.
Public transit is a big reason for why I'm moving, loop bound in a couple of months (also excited for actual winters, I've been in NC for years and the perpetual heat is dreadful).
Reading this on the brown line right now! Apart from the convenience of the public transit, I also find it entertaining and special. It’s just such a gem you don’t find in many other places in the country. Falls are also gorgeous here.
It’s great here!
I live right north of the trump tower just moved last month
Born & raised in cook county. *DO NOT MOVE TO A BLUE STATE*
Chicago seemingly only exists from navy pier and above lmaoooo. Im not gonna hold you guys find a different realtor. Chicago is not only that.
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
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.
Where is this?!
... The truth is, it depends on your background (upbringing, ethnicity, personality, economic status, etc.) Although Chicago is arguably the greatest city in America, folks need to understand it is probably the most segregated city in America. I have lived all over the world (including "The South"), but I have never seen anything like city. Literally, there are only a hand full of diverse neighborhoods. I would recommend doing way more research than simply listening to youtubers. The best way to select a neighborhoods in Chicago, is to experience the environment for yourself e.g., walk the streets, observe, interact with the community.
I know that you can't touch upon all neighborhoods in this video,but these are area the average city worker cannot afford. Most look to Mt. Greenwood,Beverly,Chicago Lawn as a retreat from the busy city.
How was it now?
What’s your question? Sorry don’t understand
@@ChicagoRealEstateAgent I mean, How's your life living in Chicago now?
Are these just the whiter and wealthier neighborhoods? Hyde Park is ranked 19th of the 40 coolest neighborhoods in the WORLD by Timeout Magazine (2023). Not to mention the crime in River North has skyrocketed in the last couple of years and the West Loop is priced way out of most people’s budget. This seems rather biased for some reason or another. So either your real estate business doesn’t cover Hyde Park or maybe Pilsen, (also cool) or they’re too “diverse” for your KZread channel.
It would be helpful if you provided links to the resources you used to reference the five reasons, in particular about taxes. Thanks!
That's great feedback! I will work on this! Thank you.
Bro careful there - aren't you not allowed to talk about crime as a real estate agent or you'd lose your licence or something?
It should be that if real estate doesn't provide crime facts they lose their licenses. What do they all have in common??????
@@tomstevenson7940 Appreciate your input but providing crime facts is one of the ways we can lose our license due to operating under the REALTOR code of ethics and specifically the Fair Housing Act of 1968. Happy to provide you with resources but I would recommend going to the local areas police departments website and obtaining crime facts from there.
@@BestHomesChicago Thanks John. I'm not saying we shouldn't KNOW the facts, but under the fair housing act we cannot discuss them but can provide resources for the client to do their own research. Maybe you should brush up on your CE a bit ;)
First, I've never been to Chicago. I'm aware that a city CAN be dangerous. Hell, if you ask me, ALL cities are dangerous. Your breakdown of the city gives me great insight into Chicagoland. I've been joking with my family about Chicago being my hometown for some time now. Just imagine a nerd claiming to be hard and a fearless gangster outside of a computer program😅. Yes, they laugh at me a lot. I can only assume that God Algorithm overheard me joking around, and you populated into my recommended videos to watch. Now, I will be visiting soon. You guys wouldn't hit a 🤓 that wears glasses, right...? 😂😂😂😂 Thank You sincerely.

Bro the lighting in this video is the best so far yet
Thank you!
I'm from Monterrey Mexico and I'm visiting Chicago for the first time in my life and I was wondering, how can I get from the Magnificent Mile to Lincoln Park???, what train stations should I get in and get off to go to Lincoln Park???, and also, is it safe the train station where I'm getting off the train to go to Lincoln Park??, thank you in advance! God bless you
It’s hard to see Chicago returning to its glory days.
Soon to be empty nester here. Glad you mentioned our demographic!! Our son moved to Chicago and loves it. We are considering moving to Chicago in a few years for all the reasons you mentioned AND if he's still there. We are also considering St. Louis depending where our daughter ends up, however. Some people think we're crazy for considering city living in our 50s....but we have more free time and money now to enjoy all it has to offer!! We increasingly want the restaurants, cafés, museums, festivals, etc that you mention. We can always move back to a small town when we're older.
Thank you for the amazing viseo. We're coming in September would love the information about the speakeasy on fullarton.❤ love chicago Go Cubs
Was Living in Chicago ever worth it ?

Chicago needs to build more housing. Maybe not just Chicago, but we need national zoning reform to allow for more freedom. It is funny to see how backwards our country is, where we restrict even what people and developers can build, and where.. A nation build on the idea of freedom yet you can't even build what you want.
Yes, the country is in a severe shortage of new home starts, specifically in the entry level home price range. Higher labor costs, cost of materials and high interest rates have weakened builder confidence but hopefully this will turn around in a couple years .
Bro finally updated
I appreciate you sticking around while I took some time off to travel this summer! Coming back with many more videos in the coming weeks!
Lakeview contains one of the largest concentrations of gay businesses and gay populations in the US nonetheless you make no mention of it at all in this video. Lakeview is what it is today in no small part due to the gay population moving into the area in the 70's and 80's and turning it into a thriving area. Making no mention of it at all makes you pretty homophobic.
Sean - thank you for your feedback. As a licensed real estate agent there are certain things such as sexual orientation that are considered protected classes under the REALTOR code of ethics and we can't speak to unfortunately.
@@jordanpyle No one asked you to discuss the demographics of Lakeview. The fact is that Broadway has long been considered the downtown of Lakeview with retail, eateries, bars, coffeeshops, and lots of local small businesses. Halstead is an important multi block nightlife district that spans from Belmont to Grace with some of the top grossing bars in the city and it hosts the biggest street festival in Lakeview. It is just as important as Wrigleyville to Lakeview. While Wrigleyville is most active when the Cubs are playing, Halstead is a daily, year round venue. You discuss none of this. You show no photos of this area. There is no discussion of any amenities in this area. You completely ignore both as if they are too dirty for you to touch. You should have mentioned them with street shots of both. You don’t have to say “gay” at all - between pylons and flags, street shots would say it all. Rather you avoid these areas altogether. Instead you focus all the way over to Southport. Southport is wonderful, but it has always been secondary to Broadway. But don’t discuss that dirty area between Clark and LSD - pretty homophobic. By not discussing and showing these areas you are essentially putting gay people back in the closet. That is a form a discrimination, exactly what the fair housing laws were created to prevent. I guess you are steering people to West Lakeview. Isn’t steering unethical? With your map showing a redline (ironic) that excludes East Lakeview to your focus on Southport, you basically shut out discussion of what most Chicagoans would consider the heart of Lakeview. To my Gay Chicago Brothers avoid this company - given the response, there is obviously no understanding of these issues. Conversely, there is only blatant disregard.
@@seanreidy1420 - I hear you, I really do. However, just a couple things to note. There are plenty of video shots of different places in East Lakeview, as well as my discussion of things to do in East Lakeview. These videos are not fully comprehensive, they are just me pulling out a few things in each category that are outlined by the chapters that I have experience with. Just because my experience doesn't mesh up exactly with yours doesn't mean that I don't think it's important. I did just review the video about the boundary and that is an ERROR as my video editor actually made a mistake and drew the wrong eastern boundary with the red line (which is there to stand out and annotate on the screen, nothing more than that), however if you listen to my words during that section, I do clearly state that East Lakeview's eastern boundary is the lake. I also by no means focus solely on west Lakeview, I always try my best to incorporate different parts of each neighborhood. I know you don't know me, but I would never purposely disregard anyone in an intentional way, and I'm sorry if you feel like there should have been more focus on some of the discussion points you mention in your comment. Just remember, these aren't fully comprehensive videos and if you would like to see a video focused solely on East Lakeview, I'm happy to do one. Thanks for your understanding.
did he say.... 5 months of winter? thats half the year COLD!!
It's very obvious that you know very little about the city.
Of course not, I’ve only been here 11 years. Hope you’re well too!
@@ChicagoRealEstateAgent 11 years roaming the same little circle.
@@LPno.9lol!!!
Chicago has only 5 months of pleasant weather.If you prefer colder temperature, Chicago is waiting for you!Also cost of living is becoming like NYC
Moved out in 2021, it’s not the same city I grew up in, the Marxists are taking over. If you’re a white conservative they hate you.
11:12 That's fine I'm from St. Louis
Sad
Crime, crappy schools, illegal immigration, crazy taxes, what not to love?
How does Uber/lyft drivers make in Chicago? I plan to move but Im not sure what to do in the mean time when I get there.
😍
I moved out of Chicago in 2009, I am 3 hours away in Indiana I pay $100 a year I own my house.
Do you shit $100 bills dude you're naming super ridiculous expensive neighborhoods... Name affordable hoods, dude you tripping.
Great video, I live just to the north in Lincoln Park’s younger cousin Lakeview: Con number 5 is a great one. In both neighborhoods, they are kind of the first entry point for people moving to Chicago, also for people who want to get that city experience, then bounce to the suburbs. Nothing wrong with that, but I’ve noticed whether it’s littering, deciding which store/restaurants to frequent, voting habits, etc., I’ve been seeing these short term residence make decisions that are shortsighted and not really for the long-term health of the neighborhood. It makes sense, they’re not gonna be here for the long haul so I wouldn’t expect anything else, it’s just something else to remember that, both LP and Lakeview will be popular with people who aren’t gonna stay there for a long time.
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.
...just like its murder rate.
On crime ... "As a realtor, I cant get into a lot of detail" .... wtf? Why not?
Because you would avoid those areas😀...Usually realtors don't say about dangerous neighborhoods
Where in the CONS did this guy mention anything about the CRIME problem ? Anyone that leaves this out is a complete fool....Talk to the people about the illegal issue problem ...tell them about the Michigan ave stores being looted all the time
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.
Eat at the Weiners Circle
I just spent two days in river north, and absolutely fell in love with Chicago's beauty. Would love to come back and run on lakefront trail. But im from a cold windy town and every winter i say im moving south lol.
If you're ever in Chicago anytime soon, hit me up and we can get a lake front run in! I'm on it daily!
These are all white neighborhoods; & most of the people that stay in these popular neighborhoods are not from Chicago at this point. Chicago is segregated by Race first & Money second. It’s always cheaper to stay in a Black & Hispanic neighborhood in the city cause it’s “low income”. But white people always made more money cause THEY set it up that way. 😂 I’ll stop right here… cause i can keep going. 😉
