Anyone ever live on this street? Seems quiet during day, worried of possible crime spill over from Halsted night life though. We'd be attached to the alley right West of Halsted and want to know if valid to have security concerns. Thanks!

If you're worried, don't bother. Find a different place.

dont move there if you dont feel comfortable. oftentimes your gut feeling will tell you if its right for you or not. even if it were safe enough, you still ought to be able to enjoy your neighborhood without that bit of fear lurking in your mind. you wont enjoy the area. i dont know about that particular street, but i agree, you gotta go where you love it. thers plenty of other streets that are nicer and you wont feel it.

take lake shore drive and marine drive. Beautiful up and down it from downtown to Foster. While those streets are wonderful, a lot of times walk west a block or two and its terrible. I'm thinking more Marine Drive. so since some characters walk from that sketchy street west to my Marine drive apartment, i then bump into them. and then what if i want to go to the store and its a block or two west, now i have to deal with characters coming to and fro around me. they might not do me harm but do i want these characters in my environment? yeah i know, some people will think im being stuck up, but yet, REALITY AND COMFORT FOR ME are more important than being politically correct or whatever.. so since im the one paying the rent, i have the right to decide whether i feel comfortable or not. theres too many other wonderful places to live, why would i want to live in a place i have doubts about.

It's fine, but between boystown and Wrigley it can get rowdy. There's a homeless youth outreach or something right there on addison that I hear gets neighbors fussy with groups hanging around and some troubles.

If you're not comfortable don't move there. Or at least be aware that it's very active at night.
