Due to job change my family (which includes kids) have to relocate to chicago from Detroit in few weeks. My job will be in downtown. I had asked couple of my friends where to look for a 2 bedroom apartment. Our budget is in range 1000 $ - 1200$ ....The deciding factors are :
1) Access to either CTA or Metra....so that i do not spend much time in driving to downtown....i can sit in a train for 50 mins
2) Safe and affordable neighbourhood.....
Some of my friends who had earlier lived in chicago mentioned couple of places :
1) Des plaines
2) Mount prospect
3) Rolling meadows
4) Schaumburg
5) libertiville
I wanted a second opinion . I am looking at you guys for advice.....
