Hi! Can you please recommend neighborhoods in Chicago for two girls in their mid 20s to move to??

My main priorities are finding an area where I feel comfortable walking around by myself as a woman and where there’s plenty to do nearby (cute restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, workout studios, etc.).
I’d also love somewhere that feels trendy, creative, modern, and has a younger crowd.

I obviously love West Loop/Fulton Market, but I’m trying to be responsible and not spend $2,000+ on rent 😅 I’m curious if there are any surrounding neighborhoods with a similar vibe. I’ve seen some more affordable, nice apartments in West Town, but I don’t know much about the area.

Any recommendations?
