Hello,
I am awaiting an offer from a company in Rosemont (next to O'Hare) that I intend to accept. I've been to Chicago three times, but have spent most of my time either near O'Hare or downtown (Loop) so I am largely unfamiliar with other neighborhoods. I expect to have little time to relocate, so I need a crash course!
Here are the parameters: I'm a 26 yr old single male, salary above, love to go to bars/restaurants but HATE commuting to work! Would like to be near the EL. Status is not as big a deal to me as comfort and being financially practical. I expect to drive to work, since the walk to work from the Rosemont blue line stop is a daunting hike through main roads, etc.
I know that Wrigleyville/Lincoln Park etc. is the place to be if you're a young, single professional - but won't I spent half my life in my car back and forth from O'Hare? Is Bucktown/Wicker Park my best bet (on blue line, in between Loop/O'Hare, bars nearby)?
Thanks in advance for your insight!
