I live in Chicago (Rogers park) and work in Evanston. I have many coworkers who live in the Streeterville, South Loop, and Lincoln Park areas.
From the bus stop by my apartment building, it takes me roughly 25 mins to get from the north city line of Chicago to Michigan Ave/ Congress via the Lake Shore Drive express bus.
I can also vouch for the pretty Balmoral neighborhood, as well as Andersonville . Andersonville didn't fit me as well as Rogers Park does, but I don't have a spouse or kids, so my needs are a little different. I do like the feel of the area up here though. Many of the churches within a 4 block radius have cornerstones dating from 1895-1920, to give you an idea of the age of my neighborhood.
