It's a pretty decent area. It's been going through some changes lately, with housing developments being torn down, new condos coming up. It has it's problems like most places (there have been reports of a few people being robbed at the CTA train station nearby), but overall it's a pretty happening. I used to hang out there a lot in the past, not so much now, but occasionally go there. The Old Town area is nearby (Second City comedy club, Zanies comedy clubs, Old Town Ale House bar, restaurants, etc.), North/Clybourn shopping corridor is just west of you a bit, there a big new Whole Foods that just opened not too far away, supposedly the biggest in their chain. There are "undesireables" all over the city, so you have to be on your toes at all time. But as for that area, it's pretty cool.
That's a pretty nice area.There are gangs in every area. It's a major city. There are projects about four blocks south on Division. But it really is a nice area right there. Steppenwolf theater is right there. You're close to the Red Line. There's a Whole Foods right down the street. There's a little pocket of night life spots. Do it.Is the area around north ave and cleveland in chicago a good area to live?
that's Old Town. that area can be dicey. There's nice parts and parts I wouldn't frequent at night. right around Sedgwick and North there's new construction that's pricey, built right next to Section 8 housing for low income residents.
