looking for home $200,000 & under 35 mile radius of 60601

[Kenneth Kussman]

Hello,

I am moving to Chicago in the coming month to take a job. I will be working on 

E Randolph St, Chicago, IL - 60601.

I have never been to Chicago and have no idea what the housing market is like or what decent areas I can find a single family home for under $200,000 or if homes within that range in decent areas exist.

I would like to find a fixer, but not a complete rehab. It's just for me and plan to sell or rent in a few years after my contract is finished.

I am looking for a little information or guidance, recommendations, on the different areas.

Thanks in advance for any replies

Feel free to post or message me
