Default Can't comment on the location cause I'm a suburbanite but it sounds....

.. like your looking in good spots. I know parking can be tough down there and I'm not sure if $1500 is going to get you much + parking but I'm sure someone will comment.

Welcome to Chicago, join the club and come out to the track.

Default $1500 might get a studio with parking in LP.

Depends, the city is vast and deals are about. Look on craigs list and the Reader.

Default If you want some space, I'd go for Wicker Park or Bucktown......

especially if you want a garage included for that price.

Default 2nd. I was in bucktown, now in wicker park

I like it over here a lot. Lots to do, decent pricing, less frat guys than Lincoln Park, better value for your dollar, less congestion than LP, closer to the expressway, closer to downtown.

I live in wicker park and work 2 blocks north of the loop. I used to drive, but I take the bus now or the L or walk (2.2 miles) or ride a bike to work.

Also check out ukrainian village (south of wicker park).

Default Welcome...

LP might be tough to find something for that price with a parking space...

I live north of LP in lakeview aka wrigleyville...you can def find something for that price around here...you might not be able to find a garage spot for that, but you can def find something that's private but not covered...I have two tandem non-covered spots behind my place...

I would suggest that you check out the places you want to live...I can't stand the crowd (for the most part) in places like the gold coast, near north, & LP...the crowd is a little more laid back further north...
