While the roots of Little Italy are rich and full of history, much of that has been left behind. Many small Italian businesses are closing, and larger companies are moving in. This can either be seen as a good or a bad thing, but I personally think that this erases some of the neighborhood's charm. Besides this, the neighborhood has a wonderful park to spend time in, and is right beside the UIC campus, which is nice as well.
Moved here two years ago, and I love it here. Everything is pretty accessible by walking or CTA within a 15min. The neighborhood is quiet and isn’t as transient as other trendier neighborhoods (if that’s what you’re looking for). A lot of great diverse food and bar options on Taylor St. Definitely feels safer year-after-year.
There's a lot of food options around, so watch your wallet. Most of the fun stuff in Chicago can be reached via CTA. We have a CTA stop on campus, so very easy transportation into the city!
