63rd and South Shore. It getting poppin’ over there and the diversity is fantastic.
Maybe this is a dumb question, but do you have any names of like apartment complexes or anything in the area?
You’re joking right
I would check out Parkway Gardens, o-block for short
Hey dude, moved to Chicago last year from NYC, so not too familiar with local hot spots as I could be, but can give you some spots I was looking at.
I ended up choosing the South Loop. Close proximity to the park/lake front, short commute to work, and easy access for groceries/CTA stations (a lot of the newer buildings here are a short walk to the Roosevelt station which has all the lines running through it). West Loop is also pretty good I hear, as well as Gold Coast and River North.
Here are some of the spots I had saved:
- NEMA: have some friends in this building, gets super $$$, but nicest facilities (especially the gym) and can have amazing views
- The Paragon
- Coeval
- 369 Grand
- MILA
- Marlowe
- Wolf Point East/West
I would only recommend this if you want the experience of living in a traditional big luxury building. Chicago's downtown "The Loop" is different vs most major downtowns in that it's not where most of the bars/restaurants/entertainment is at. If you want something that's more of a neighborhood with restaurants/etc, I'd probably suggest something more on the lines of Lincoln Park, Old Town, Wicker Park, or Fulton Market (last one is more of a trendy/foodie type place)
I’m in my mid-to-late-twenties in Chicago. I would recommend Near North, West Loop or Fulton Market. Walking commute to the Loop (assuming you work there), and close proximity to restaurants, bars and nightlife. A few building recs below - all are “luxury rental” buildings, but you can also find a place in a condo-owned building that is getting rented out (will be cheaper but less amenities).
West Loop or Fulton Market:

-the Parker
-Porte
-eleven23 Randolph
Near North:
-369 grand
-3Eleven
-Hubbard221
-640 north wells
-Oakwood
-Wolf Point East
How much are you making? Where’s your office? What’s your type of social scene? I made the move from NYC a few years ago. It’s an awesome city. I’ll be of more help if you answer these questions first
West Loop/Fulton Market hands down
River North / Gold Coast would be my recommendations. I lived in Gold Coast for a while and was able to easily walk to work which was super nice pre covid. Lincoln Park/Lakeview are great neighborhoods too, but skew on the younger side and you wouldn't be able to walk to work. West Loop could be a potential option too.
