Cheap and safe aren't really located in the same areas, unfortunately. You chose one or the other. If you keep your head about you, you can do fine in a transitional neighborhood, like Logan Square.

Stay away from Rogers Park. Too many hippies and gangsters.

I recommend using a company like The Apartment People to find a place.

Most neighbourhoods looks OK and LIVEABLE but when you actually live a month or two, the story might be different. So I suggest doing some research first

I'd advise to PM Ming and rah. Che and Theben are also familiar.

Full PM-box? Change here!

Ming and Rah both live in the NW suburbs. I haven't lived in Chicago for four years, and Theben five. In general, stay away from the West Side, which is a very narrow strip of the city going strait west from downtown. Parts are okay, but the West Side scares South Siders.

The South Side has lots of great neighborhoods, like Hyde Park, Pilsen, etc. It also has some scarey neighborhoods. I wouldn't rule out the West Side.

Some White neighborhoods are just as scarey as the minority ghettos. The Patch, where I once lived, isn't really a place to be if you aren't Italian, though it's gentrifying. Bridgeport is kinda schizo. The Irish part isn't safe for non-Irish, the Chinese part (Chinatown) is safe, and Pilsen is an up and coming Mexican neighborhood (strawberry tamales, yum!)

Bucktown / Wicker Park / east Humbodlt Park / Logan Square are the hip parts of the city, where the alternative youth culture is situated.
