CiTy bucktown Bucktown Community Contact: Wicker Park & Bucktown Chamber 773-384-2672, www.wickerparkbucktown.com This Near Northwest Side artists’ enclave has gone considerably more upscale in recent years. Converted walkups and lofts, along with rehabbed two- and three-flats, are the norm here and property values are skyrocketing. The neighborhood’s heart is the intersection of North/Damen/Milwaukee, where hipster clubs, shops and restaurants flourish. But the artists still hold their own here, despite gentrification—be sure to check out the venerable Bucktown Arts Fest. Also consider Wicker Park or Logan Square. Neighborhood boundaries: North Avenue, Fullerton, Kennedy Expressway and Western.

Far more affordable than its counterparts slightly to the south, Edgewater offers easy access to Lake Michigan and the Red Line. With the city’s highest density (more than 34,000 people per square mile), Edgewater is also a mini-United Nations, with immigrants from throughout the world mixing comfortably with longtime Americans of all ethnicities. Many families have moved in recently. Also consider Andersonville and Lakewood-Balmoral to the west. Neighborhood boundaries: Lake Michigan, Devon, Ravenswood and Foster.
