Most people that move to Chicago seem to end up with apartments on the North side (Lincoln Park, Wrigleyville, Lakeview...). If you're going to consider driving to the West burbs (Warrenville), don't even consider this. I know too many people that have done this and were/are miserable. Consider a city location further west (Wicker Park, Bucktown, Ukranian Village) I've lived in these neighborhoods and had to drive west every morning. They're closer to I-290 which goes directly west. The problem with the North side is that once you get off the expressway to the local streets, you're stuck sitting in traffic for another 1/2 hour just to go a mile or two. If you look in local papers at the three above mentioned neighborhoods, try to stay away from these if someone throws "West" in front of it (i.e. West Ukranian Village). They're typically not the best of neighborhoods.
If you head out here, hook up with a local Pelican. We'll help you out.
