When I moved to Chicago, I didn't even know where Illinois was! All I new was what the media told me about it being a cesspool riddled with crime.
After living here awhile I would recommend living in Near North. Super safe, clean, and affordable with lots of amenities. Last winter was very mild and this summer had been mild too.
I must say that the convenience of being near so many resources is often lost on me. Having lived here my whole life I tend to focus on the bad things since the good bits are commonplace.
