We own a condo in Pilsen which was relatively affordable. We're looking for an SFH or 2-flat in the 300k-400k range which is impossible to find if you don't want a serious fixer-upper. Compare that to Oak Park where you can get a renovated home on a larger lot in this price range, that actually has strong public schools.
I'd much rather stay in the city with more amenities, much stronger public transit, more diversity etc.
