Rating 3.92 out of 5 25 reviews
The neighborhood is a lot of fun, with a lot of restaurants and parks. It is pretty diverse and has a great social scene.
Great hood, if expensive. My wife and I have lived here since '96. Lots of great old homes, lots of fancy new ones. You can walk to everything. There must be fifty restaurants within hoofing distance. And there's a surprising number of young families here despite the high priced real estate.
The only downside is the high cost of living, fueled by high property taxes and a city and county government rife with corruption and incompetence.

I adore Bucktown, Chicago. This neighborhood is packed with a variety of individuals, couples, families, and more. I love the small business shops lining Damen Avenue along with the 606 entrance on the same street. The rent is affordable and the nightlife is plentiful, but not too invasive.
