Investing in Chicago - Jackson Park Highlands

[Colin M.]

Hi BP -

I am currently looking at a MF building in the Jackson Park Highlands area of Chicago. I am an out-of-town investor and new to Chicago neighborhoods. Wondering what your views on this area are? Good neighborhood? Safe? Desirable? Rentable?

Appreciate any feedback on where to look / avoid!

Hi Colin, 

I own a MF property in the Jackson Park Highlands neighborhood and I'm definitely biased but believe it's an excellent neighborhood prized to pop in the next 5 years. I've stayed in the apartments I have there and felt comfortable and safe. I've had turnover in two of my apartments and I've never had a lack of interest, however I've learned to do more scrutiny when looking at applicants.
