"Northeast Woodlawn is Great"
Woodlawn is starting to become gentrified, but still maintains is essential Southside spirit. From the golf course to Daley's it has most if not all you are looking for. The area between the Metra and Greenline is ideal (east of Cottage Grove). The schools are concerning, but the Chicago Lab schools are walkable if you can get in and there is another UChicago charter school in the area. Recently a lot of $600K+ homes have been sold in the northeast area and things don't seem to be slowing down.
Pros
- Major improvements recently
- Cheap
