If this area is beginning to pop, I will be taking a closer look. Biggest problem is that there is just so much suburban crap around there. Doesn’t have that hip, walkable vibe that other up and coming areas (Pilsen, Avondale, etc) have

It's not that bad. Archer is a lost cause until they tame the traffic sewer, but 35th has a ton of potential to grow hip businesses and could be very walkable. The problem is zoning, the properties along 35th are zoned RS-3 so almost every storefront there is nonconforming.
And they need to do something about the asphalt plant before that area can really take off...
