Pilsen, Bridgeport, East Garfield Park and McKinley park are also affordable and probably closer to school or business. And if someone "just needs to be by the lake", many of those folks are turned off by Uptown's charming grit.

rogers park is far. uptown? its 30 minutes to the loop on the red line. its really not that bad. honestly i dont think its even that much different than coming in from logan square.
edgewater is the real hidden gem of the city. it has tons more restaurants/dining compared to uptown (and has easy proximity to the Argyle stretch on the north end), plus less grit, cheap rent, low crime, excellent transit, tons of grocery stores at all price points, and amazing lake access. the only "con" is its not a nightlife area (i actually see that as a positive, but it keeps it quiet and sedate).
