Where are the most reasonable places to live in chicago? ie safe and inexpensive?

Question

If possible close to University Illinois at chicago

Answer 1

inexpensive in chicago? thats nearly impossible.

and so close to downtown? i dont know about that one.

maybe you should try to find a place maybe near the outskirts on chicago --that's where I live. it's safe and inexpensive (for the most part).. but it's quite a drive to UIC --about 30 minutes... but gas is definitely cheaper out here than in the hustle and bustle of downtown. if i had the money i would live down there haha..

good luck! i hope i could help!

Answer 2

Most students at UIC live in apartments in the blocks surrounding it, like on Taylor street.  It used to be not a great area, but it has changed.

Answer 3

lots of apartments around U of I.
