CHICAGO — Is your neighborhood giving you a headache, or giving you life?
A recent report from real estate site Trulia found when it came to people looking to live a healthy lifestyle in big cities across the country, Chicago's hoods didn't stack up so bad — if you live on the North Side (or in West Town) that is.
When looking at neighborhoods in cities with a population of 2 million or more, 10 Chicago neighborhoods made Trulia's top 100 list by scoring high on the site's "Living Well" index.
Reporter Linze Rice talks about how 'bouncy castles' factored into the ratings.
But aside from West Town, the community surrounding DePaul University in lavish Lincoln Park was the most southern area of Chicago that cracked the top 100.
The report analyzed the number of "quiet streets" by looking at how low traffic was, the amount of "play-centric amenities" like parks by mining Yelp data, and how many care and social services like hospitals and day care centers were nearby.
While San Diego and Los Angeles snagged the top two spots in the large cities category overall, Rogers Park was first to represent Chicago's neighborhoods at No. 11 with an 84.5 out of 100 on the "Live Well" index.
Ten spots away was the DePaul campus area of Lincoln Park at No. 21, followed by Uptown at No. 58 and West Town at No. 65.
Check out the list of each 10 neighborhoods below.
