Fair enough, Pilsen didn't become hip and cool till a could years ago. When I moved to Chicago in 06 Logan square wasn't even popular, and now it's the most popular area and red hot.
All I've ever heard the entire time from the media and locals here is how expensive Chicago is, so I guess I never really looked into buying a house that much. Also, where I live in the northside has always been super expensive near a million, so I hadn't considered other areas being not super expensive, and I didn't want to go to a high crime area.
Yea, when you compare it to California, Miami, or New York , Chicago is dirt cheap!
