What’s the most underrated neighborhood in your opinion?

I’ve been trying to visit all of Chicago’s 77 community areas over these past few months. I still have a ways to go but I’ve already come to find that this city is even bigger and more wonderful than I ever imagined (and I grew up here!)

Now, I think the magic of every neighborhood is that they’re kind of an “if you know, you know” situation, and Reddit definitely doesn’t represent Chicago, or even a small fraction of it really. So with that in mind what are some neighborhoods you wished you saw talked about more often? Some of my favorites:

• Arcade Row in Pullman (amazing architecture)
• Marquette Park (beautiful park and the neighborhood has a fascinating history)
• Canaryville (went here last month, the churches are incredible)
• Chatham (definitely just Reddit bias bc this is one of the densest residential areas of the city haha but I feel like I don’t see that discussed much at all, shoutout to Lem’s btw)
• Albany Park (really interesting area to walk around, wide variety of great Central American food)
