Such a great city here, something for everyone, at least two or three of everything you could want or need.
As far as apartments go, the suggestions are good so far. However, keep in mind that if you are working in that area that is serviced by the Red line, you'd want to live off the red or brown line.
I only say that because I was going to suggest looking in Logan Square, inexpensive rent still in comparison to Wicker Park and Bucktown to the south, but off the Blue line so you'd have a transfer or two to get to Roger's Park.
Best to avoid having to take a bus to the El every day, plenty of people do it, but I couldn't stand it, the bus is too unreliable if you're on a schedule. I walk about half a mile to and from the blue line at California every day, barely takes 8-10 minutes, so look at your distances to the El and it's really not a bad walk if it's something you have to do.
Winter is over and everyone is starting to get outside, a great city for the summer.
