You can get condos in much of the city for $200,000 - $300,000. Yes, slightly. We used to be a full 1M bigger before the highways, but we’re growing a bit now. Hi guys, I’m thinking of moving to Chicago within the next year or so and want to ask a couple of questions. I’ve been to Chicago once before and….
Significantly better. Moved to Chicago for law school, started a career, bought a condo. Discovered I love city living and not having a car. Other than the lack of open green space that you don't have to compete with Chicago Sport and Social for, city living fits my preferences far more than the suburbs.
Chicago is a drinking kind of town. A lot of interaction with people, especially in the winter, will involve having a drink. If you are sober, this might not be the city for you, or you may want to have a network already in place to find ways to socialize. If you do like a drink, it is an incredible city for that.
Best value hands down. I had a couple guys agree to unload the truck I packed and move it up to the third floor. This was a 3 bed 2 bath place and a full uhaul truck, they unloaded for like 300 cash. Cheapest moving company quote I got was like 1600 and they required that they load the truck themselves.
I love living on the lake and it's a 5-20 minute bus ride to the blue line depending on how far north you live. Much less, further south. 4. What you really need to do is come here and visit for a week or two, or move here living light like in a hotel while you scout the areas. 5.
Fair. I guess after living in NY, Chicago feels like it’s juuuust straddling the line between needing a car and not needing one. That's odd, I've never heard a New Yorker speak highly of the subway, and usually people speak more highly of the CTA. It is excellent US public transit.
Keep you phone in your pocket. Don't be low hanging fruit for theives. If you're serious about security, a dog is great of course, and Chicago is very dog friendly. If your coming from the south though, winter weather is going to be a greater concern. 5.
My thoughts moving to Dallas from Chicago. I made a similar post on the Dallas sub and thought it would be fair to post here to share my thoughts for those considering a move to Dallas or to reinforce your decision to not move to Dallas. I grew up in the Southeast, ended up in the Midwest for school, then landed a job in Chicago after college ...
Without a job you may need a cosigner for some places. I was able to use an offer letter for a job I would be starting soon as my proof. Gotcha, that'll be a good way to explore a neighborhood before signing long term. It will be very hard to find an apartment without a job. Look for some sort of temporary housing.
But assuming you live in actual Chicago, and not some poser suburban area, the change to NYC shouldn’t come as too big of a shock. Main differences are that things are far more uptight here, co-workers are less family-oriented, the air is dirtier, and the winters are far more mild. 3. Reply. BQE2473.
