The 10 Best Neighborhoods To Live In Chicago

Not that you have to be a Cubs fan to live in Chicago's number 1 best neighborhood, but it wouldn't hurt considering it is located directly East of Wrigley Field.

Why is North Center such a great neighborhood? It has a big neighborhood feel with small neighborhood charm. North Center has a ton of stuff to do, too. It has bowling alleys, three parks, an indoor ice arena, a library, and a movie theater.

North Center is one of Chi-town's richest neighborhoods, so make sure you're making a cool $100,000/year before you make any life changing decision.

Bordered by the Chicago River on its East side and Lake Michigan on its West, Chicago's second neighborhood, The Loop, is an integral part of the city's commercial core.

If you choose the Loop to call home you'll be front and center to the best shopping and restaurants on Michigan Avenue, great beach access just off of Oak Street, and some of Chicagoland's most scenic views.

So, grab yourself a slice of deep dish 'za from Giordanos and make your way to Millenium Park to see what all of the Loop buzz is all about.

Chicago's third neighborhood, Lake View, is one of the largest neighborhoods that made our top ten list with a whopping 97,804 residents.

So, what's the draw? We'll tell you. Lake View is bordered by Lake Michigan to the East, it holds Chicago's Pride Parade every June, and it has 30 theaters at one's disposal.

The best part about Lake View is that once you arrive, you won't have to get in your car again: you have access Chicago's L train at the corner of Addison and Lincoln Ave. We call this a 312 win!

What do 64,965 Lincoln Park locals know that we don't? Well, besides that this neighborhood has some of the coolest tree lined streets, awesome residents, and the Lincoln Park Zoo, this neighborhood is the 39th in terms of crime.

Lincoln Park scored off the charts on our snackability scale with an emphasis on education and employment. So, if you're looking for a safe place to send your kids to school, walk your dog, and/or go to work, definitely give Chicago's fourth neighborhood, Lincoln Park, a second look.

Picture yourself sipping wine at the Edison Park Fest, riding your bike through Brooks Park Zoo, and/or shopping at Whole Foods on Touhy Ave., and you'll know what it's like to live in Chicago's fifth neighborhood, Edison Park.

One of furthest neighborhoods from downton Chit-town, Edison Park has a great community feel with lots to do. If you don't believe us, check out the Edison Park Facebook page, it's on point.

Lincoln Square should be called Lincoln "Art" Square. This neighborhood has provided its community with many outlets to stay connected to the creative world.

So we think the best day in the Lincoln Square neighborhood would go something like this: grab a quick martial arts workout at the Degerberg Academy, take a stroll by the Greater Rockwell Mural just outside of Beans and Bagels, then an evening show at the Davis Theater.

Wow, Lincoln Square, we know why you're Chicago's sixth neighborhood.

The Navy Pier, The Magnificent Mile, or just the fact that this neighborhood is one of the most electric in Chi-town are all great reasons people should flock to Chicago's Near North Side neighborhood.

And if that doesn't seal the deal, the Near North Side neighborhood has great Lake MIchigan beach access, ten huge parks to explore, and some great shopping.

And, folks, it's pretty safe. So there's no excuse to get moving to Chicago's seventh neighborhood for 2020.

Located at the three-way intersection of Milwaukee Avenue, Logan Boulevard, and Kedzie Boulevard is Chicago's eighth neighborhood for 2020.

This is one of the only neighborhoods on the list coming from the northwest side of Chi-town. And can we just say, if you're into brewery beer, this is your neighborhood. Chicago has over 150 breweries and 12 of the best are in Logan Square. And if you're into that whole "historical vibe," Logan Square has stately greystones type homes. If so, lucky for you, this neighborhood is the ninth for affordable housing.

Want to be part of the exclusive club that gets to call Chicago's ninth best neighborhood home 2020? Well, you're going to have to have a great job and be able to drop some cash on a home because Forest Glen is our first in terms of income and fourth for housing.

Also, don't come here thinking that you're going to cause trouble. Forest Glen is ranked third for both violent crime and property crime.

On a lighter note, it's one of the smallest neighborhoods on our list. And word on the street, you can rub elbows with Forest Glen's finest at the Edgebrook Golf Course.

Rounding out the list as Chicago's tenth best neighborhood for 2020 is West Town.

This quintessential Chicago neighborhood with vibrant streets, unforgettable festivals, and year-round fun is super great and super safe. Probably why it's one of the most populous cities northwest of the Loop.

We think that you should start scrolling through Chicago's Property Shop to find the perfect West Town place sooner than later: we wouldn't want you to miss out on West Town's Winterfest.
