neighborhood areas to avoid?
Hi folks, I bet you hear this a lot but let's discuss anyway -
I'm looking for a new apartment in Bucktown/Logan Square/Wicker Park/Ukrainian Village area, and after doing research and such I've read a lot of things that say you should stay within certain areas in these neighborhoods. Supposedly for UV have to stay within Western, Chicago, Ashland, and Division, for Logan Square don't go west of Kedzie, etc. Do you feel there's really any truth to it or is it just crazies on the internet? I ask mostly because I'm looking at a place half a block west of Western and personally I feel like half a block can't make that much of a difference. I live on the border of Rogers Park/West Ridge right now so I'm kind of used to it being block by block, anyways.
