Question

somewhere safe, fun, affordable to live and lots of socializing. somewhere you can hangout with friends or go on a date. you get the idea!

Answer 1

Check out www.zillow.com or www.trulia.com and see what homes are selling for in the area.  Drive around the areas you can afford and see what's up at night.  If you hear gunshots, cross them off the list.

Answer 2

Nothing affordabel

Answer 3

look in the reader for apartment listings, in chicago you can jump on a bus or train pretty much anywhere to go hangout where you cant afford to live

Answer 4

-Logan Square (Best over all for price, nightlife, pretty safe)

-Lincoln Park (Really nice but kinda expensive) (you can find a few cheap places here and there.)

-Hyde  Park (It's on the south side which has a bad reputation, but Hype Park is not a bad area at all and is just as nice as the other areas on this list)

-Wicker Park (Don't know alot about it but I hear it's very nice)

-Wrigleyville (Lots of night life, really safe but kinda expensive and you have to deal with traffic/noise from Cubs games which can be an absolute nightmare if you don't like big crowds.

Answer 5

I heard a lady on the news last night say you are not safe anywhere anymore.  I think if its your time, then it is your time.  Enjoy life!  :)
