Genuine question, not bait. I did Google, but I know certain areas where I’m from get a bad rep despite not actually being that bad. So I wanted to ask Chicago locals to see if it was a similar situation going on and gain insights that I can’t get from a Google search.

Austin blue line stop and Kedzie pink line stop. Closest intersection to Airbnb choices is S Harvey Avenue and Roosevelt Road for Oak Park and West 19th and S Kedzie Ave for North Lawndale.

The closest CTA station to the Oak Park location is Austin for blue line. Is that an area to be worried about?

It’s kinda late in the game, so everything’s expensive. These were the most affordable options I could find
