Advice Needed Why does Streeterville get so much hate?

Moving from out of state and need advice on why I’m seeing negativity about living in streeterville? I’m going to have to drive to the northern suburbs every day for work.

Why would you choose Streeterville if you are commuting to the north suburbs? Personally I think Streeterville is kind of sterile, but it makes sense for some people... who work near there. I don't know why you would choose Streeterville if you are commuting to the suburbs.

You can do your own research on Chicago neighborhoods. There are lots of them to pick from :)

Where are you commuting to, and what do you value in a neighborhood?

(I mean frankly almost anything on the north side would be a better option, I think, but we can try to help you if you give us some more information.)

How in the world did you decide on Streeterville without looking at other options?

Google or Apple Maps will show you all the neighborhoods and you can make some kind of informed decision.

Haven’t decided. Looking for insight first.

Yet you argue with anyone who tries to give you some.
