Might be moving to Evanston
Me and my girl finna get married and have been looking at starter homes in Evanston and Wilmette. We're keeping our condo in the city though.

You trying to be closer to downtown or basically West of ridge? Ive toyed with the idea of looking for a bargain west of Evanston Township High but realistically im trying to be near Forest Ave close to the lake in a few years. There are also some bomb ass condos on Church street, and nice start-home looking areas on Asbury between Main and Howard street.In my younger years I messed with this northwestern grad student.

That's where I grew up, miss it dearlyMight be moving to Evanston
be careful in southwest Evanston in terms of the houses; many of them are landmarks (like, some you wouldn't think), and HVAC retrofits are nigh impossible for less than a grip. A lot of my homies that live in the area opted to move further N/NW for the flexibility

This has been on my timeline for a few days and I haven't watched it til just now. this is excellent.
good to see someone visiting actually going into the real neighborhoods and on the south side none the less.
We’ll be in an apartment for now. I just want to be close to the purple line or metra, gotta be within walking distance
We ain’t ballin like that to buy no property or condo in Evanston
Aww ok I feel that. Condos are not necessarily in short supply in Evanston, but its hella Co-Ops (bad deals) and older condos with shared laundry. There are actually very good options that pop up for less than 300k from time to time but you basically have to be ready to pull the trigger, off a big ass earnest right up front, and eat the property tax + condo fees. All that said, im gonna do it when I get the chanceWe’ll be in an apartment for now. I just want to be close to the purple line or metra

Hope you enjoy it, fam, as I love that lil ass city as much as I love Chicago.
I prefer oak park tbh. More centrally located, my girl stays in oak park now and she loves it. Takes the green line into downtown dailyAww ok I feel that.

Evanston just gets the leg up cuz of the lake
Shiiiit fam, you say it like the lake isn't a huge draw. I can't ever see myself moving from the eastern most parts of Chicago because without the lake I don't exist. That shyt is powerful, for real.
I use to do open water swimming in the lake breh, I love it. The city has done a great job of keeping it relatively clean and pollution free
