My clients who most recently bought a condo in Rogers Park feel much safer than they did when living in Uptown. I agree that Evanston is a very well managed suburb, but it is also varies in terms of safety. I've shown homes to buyers all over Evanston and there are parts of Evanston where I've felt less safe than in many parts of Rogers Park.

I agree that Evanston is a very well managed suburb, but it is also varies in terms of safety. I’ve shown homes to buyers all over Evanston and there are parts of Evanston where I’ve felt less safe than in many parts of Rogers Park.

Considering your client is a female, Rogers Park is easily one of the most dangerous neighborhoods on the north side of the city. Evanston on the other hand is a much more safe and well managed suburb. Safety comes at a price, and only your client can determine how much that is worth to her. If she does choose Rogers Park, I would suggest she buy near the Loyola campus, as there are plenty of police and campus security patrolling at all times.
