Hillcrest in the winter -how bad?

Hey everyone, My partner and I are Rent is about $1,197/month for a decent place. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Is this normal for Hillcrest? TIA! There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The suburbs are where most families end up. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.

I've been here 8 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is housing market. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the walkability is legit. And if you're into skiing, this place is underrated.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The North side vs the Oak Park side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

No regrets on my end..
