Transplant Seeking Recommendations for Chicago Neighborhoods

I am being transferred to Tri-Taylor area (VA Medical Center) from Buffalo, NY. I am a middle-aged professional with spouse. Looking for recommendation for neighborhoods with reasonable commute to Tri-Taylor. Looking to rent not buy. Ideally neighborhood would be safe, shops, local dining, etc. Thanks for any advice.

You might have some good luck right nearby in the West Loop, but otherwise I'd go a bit north. You'll find some very nice neighborhoods like the Near North Side, Lincoln Park, Uptown, and if you go even further north to a very local suburb, you'll find Evanston, which is fantastic for just about everyone, and has quality commute times if you use the trains right.
