Chicago

Chicago is a probably one of the most affordable large cities and offers tons to do for a young person and is debably one of the best cities in the world during the summer months and the worst places in the world during the awful winter months. The "L" can get you almost anywhere in 15 minutes and where it can't there is ample buses and taxis. Compared to LA (where I live now) Chicago is 100x easier to get around and for the most part more affordable.

Neighborhoods:

--If you want a younger crowd, I would live in Lincoln Park or Wrigleyville. You will be able to get brownstone type places for ~$1,000 for a pretty decent place (if you have a roomate). There is tons to do for fun around here, including the obvious Wrigley Field (Home of the Cubs). Tons of College, Dive Bars. Good hole in the wall resturants as well.

Similiar to the Los Angeles post, does anyone have any information on moving to Boston i.e. neighborhoods, pricing, specific buildlings, parking, any other information that would be great. Maybe we could start forums on different Cities. I have pretty good information on Chicago, and I will post soon.

Re-location to Boston

Hey guys. Did my IB stint in NYC and went to LA for my first year in PE. My fund asked if I wanted to move to the Boston office for my second year and I thought it would be a great opportunity. Anyone with any real idea of where I should live in Boston (what neighborhood), how much to expect to pay, if I should have a car, and anything else that would be good to know before moving there.
