I grew up in Chicago. Don't live there now. However, I had moved all over Chicago while I was there. Roscoe Village, Lake View, Irving Park. By far though, the place that I loved the most was Evanston right outside Chicago. It's a nice college town with Northwestern University as it's base. Lot's of little ethnic restaurants. You can catch the train there while it's still empty. You'll actually get a seat on the train! The public library there is pretty large and clean. Most of the people there are students so there aren't too many problems. The one's who aren't students are pretty well off. Not sure what the rentals go for since at that time I was living in a condo. If I had to move back, that's where I would go.
