Just by chance I came across this story today...

"...a lot of Chicagoans will be driving by the old Viceroy Hotel, 1519 W. Warren, and wondering what will happen with the property...

...Heartland Housing Inc., a respected provider of affordable housing, has filed a zoning request to turn the old transient hotel into 90 units of affordable living...

...Each unit would get a full kitchen and bath instead of the common bathrooms from when the place qualified as a flophouse..."

That bad? Wow. I've read that it was up and coming and also that it was pretty bad. I guess this isn't the place for me.

I hope you don't make financial decisions based on the opinions of anonymous online posters. For what it's worth here is a link with a street view. As you can tell it's a pretty rough area. On Division, you'll probably feel safer east of California
