Be REAL careful and research the crime and walk around where you are looking. Uptown is diverse and has some great areas, but there are pockets that aren't so great (if you head east, there is a methadone clinic and hospital--I lived in this part and we had prostitutes in our parking garage, drug deals outside our apartment, and drug addict issues outside all the time). Be real careful because there are pockets of uptown that are NOT safe. In my expereicne over the past 12 years, Uptown is the least safe neighborhood on the north side. I've even had cab drivers refuse to drive me home b/c of safety.
