Yeah well Chicago is divided into the North and South sides and everyone likes to have their fun with that. But I've heard the east and west denotations in the neighborhoods denoting areas close to the lake.
Yes nobody swims in the lake, but that area close to it is priced at a high premium. Oprah doesn't have a place in wicker park, she's by the place. The gold coast prices (to buy) are very high too.
Where is the lake side bad though? In Hyde Park it was very nice and I thought the rest of the South Side had built a lot of condos by the lake that were expensive, no? I haven't been back there in a little while and Chicago puts up new buildings every 5 minutes so I don't know.
