hmmmm well the area around the united center is not very good, a few blocks away toward Taylor street is decent. Kind of block by block.

The rest of your areas are all the same just used every name in the book for that area. The closer you get to Western off of Taylor street the worse it gets. There is some public housing left next to roosevelt and then million dollar town homes a few blocks away so it is very gentrified. It is generally a very nice area, I actually live at Taylor and Racine.

I really never feel safe around the United Center. I have actually seen a number of really scary things go on just west of there around the Kedzie Green Line.

I think University Village is cute. That's about it. It's really expensive and without character. The main shopping strip on Halsted is really sweet, though. It's a great addition to the UIC area.

I like the eastern part of Tri-Taylor. I have some friends who live over on Morgan and 16th and Morgan and 18th...which I guess is technically Pilsen. But, either way, I think that they are mostly fine areas aside from The United Center and parts of the medical district.

Really, though, long101 is right about them all kind of being the same place. There are technical boundries, but the connotations for me and most people I know are sort of the sime. You really do have to go more like blocks down on the near south west side.

I think we just recently had 2 threads about housing near UIC where these areas have been discussed. Besides that, well, I guess long101 and rlbl pretty much nailed it.
