Make sure to stay away from the bad areas of Chicago.[/quote]

What are the bad areas pls?[/quote]

Don't worry OP, the dangerous neighborhoods in Chicago are fairly far from downtown.  Specific neighborhoods especially on the south side have a lot of gang violence but, frankly, at least from my time in Chicago, it doesn't affect anywhere in the South Loop (which is very close/convenient to some downtown offices, depending on exactly where your office is located and has lots of high rises w/ lots of amenities, tons of young people, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, other grocery and drug stores, restaurants and bars to walk to, plus the lake -- so I'd add that into your list of places to look) or neighborhoods near downtown or near north side at all.

In Chicago, at least when I lived there, many people listed apartments (in high rises and low rises in all neighborhoods) through sites like Apartment Finders or Apartment People, possibly in addition to or instead of Craigslist, so check for websites like that.  You will love it.[/quote]
