Chicago Near North Side to Loop is 15 minutes by bike or bus, 10 by car. A quick skim on Zillow puts most of the 1-bed-1-bath units for sale in the 200-300k range.

    There's a reason its cheap, you pay with your life: https://data.cityofchicago.org/Public-Safety/Homicide-Map/53...

      Your link is for the far south side, one of the worst places in the greater Chicago area, just about in Calumet City. Nowhere near and not even remotely like the area I'm talking about.

      Quick edit: You're right though, it is cheaper there. Looks like you can get a 3-bed-2-bath there for the same price as the 1-bed-1-bath in the area I'm referring to. Hell, there's a 2-bed-1-bath for $40k and a 5-bed-2-bath for $140k.

      Quick edit 2: Forgot to check the distance, that area's around 40 minutes from the Loop by car, an hour by bus, and 1:15 by bike.

      You'll pay with your life on the north side with a short of Malort (don't) and overpriced tacos, not with homicide.
