You can get your car broken into anywhere. You can get attacked anywhere. The neighborhoods you mentioned are definitely making a huge comeback with all of their beautiful homes. And have great history (definitly look around & check out the chicago historical society they have tours of all those areas). But every area has its not so great spots, so just keep a wary eye & you'll do fine.
Just don't leave anything visible in your car that someone might want (like a purse, cell phone...). & if you are out wandering at night for whatever reason don't act like a victim. Common sense should keep you safe & having a great visit.

Thousands of people live in those areas every day and have been living there for years with no problems. Then again, people have been murdered/raped/etc/ in the Gold coast, Lincoln Park, Roscoe Village... The answer to not being a crime victim is in knowing how to carry yourself, where to walk and where not to walk, when to avoid certain place, etc.
Now, granted, some places are a little more "dangerous" than others. You have to be carefule all over.
The areas you named are predominately black areas (with the possible exception of Hyde Park which is home to the University of Chicago). if that would make you uncomfortable, you might want to look elsewhere. But there are areas in each of those neighborhoods that are not bad areas to live.

Humboldt Park and Wicker Park are desirable next to a minimum of one yet yet another. as quickly as you're frightened of one, it does not extremely make adventure to decide on at diverse.... Did your source assist you to comprehend WHY Humboldt Park "isn't the situation to flow"? you will opt to probably do extra suitable learn till at last now you progression to the city. i prefer to propose that persons who flow here hit upon advice on a thank you to delight in ethnic and cultural sort. it extremely is nice, you comprehend. And no count the situation you reside, you will opt to exercising understand-how of your ecosystem. That reported, you will opt to slender down your community seek for on extra suitable factors. as an social gathering, do you bypass with public transit? How previous are you? do you prefer to stay in a bustling community? One with extremely some shops and eating places? Or are you pleased with a "danger-loose" yet sleepy community? overdue upload: countless human beings reported Jefferson Park. I stay in that community and agree it extremely is a effective, quiet place with great transportation recommendations (for the two drivers and public-transit consumers, by way of fact it extremely is desirable by using employing the expressways and the Jefferson Park CTA station is a substantial hub). Taking the Blue Line from here to the Clark/Lake Blue Line station downtown is typically 25 minutes. yet as quickly as you're finding for cafes, shops and endless eating recommendations, this community won't make it to the surprising of your checklist.

Usually, Chicago is a very friendly area, but since it is a big city, you should always definitely be careful everywhere.

They are fairly safe if you live there & know the area & the people. As for a visitor, maybe not so safe.
