Our Take
North Center offers a solid mix of good schools, short commutes and decent bike routes, but it isn’t a quiet suburb and crime is on the moderate side. The price is on the higher end for the city, and you’ll need to budget for taxes and maintenance. It’s a solid choice if you value proximity to work and a lively neighborhood, but not for those looking for a low‑cost, low‑crime haven.
