Which neighborhood should I move to?
Hi! I’d love some help with choosing what neighborhood to move to. I’m moving from FL to complete my masters at NU and never been to Chicago before. I’m a 22F moving with a small puppy and would love to move somewhere with city views. At the same, I want to make sure it’s enough move around space for my dog. Diversity is very important for me too, so I’d love a neighborhood where I’m not constantly sticking out like a sore thumb or anything like that.
I would be commuting to Evanston for classes, so extra plus if I’m somehow not too far from there or close to transportation. I know there’s a shuttle but I’m not quite sure on what neighborhoods it goes too either.
I feel like I’m making a lot of request, and feel free to snap me into reality. I’d love and appreciate any advice. But, all I know is, Chicago has been my dream home and it’s finally happening. I know I’ll find my place but I don’t want to do it blindly. Would love to hear your thoughts :)
