Well, it's definately not Lincoln Park, but you should be okay. Will you be traveling at day or night? The area around 47th and Damen includes quite a few stores like Value City and Burlington Coat Factory. So, there will probably be a good number of people around if you're going to be close to the shopping area. People seem to think that if they venture anywhere outside of the north side to the south side that they're going to die, but that's really not true. Some of the people in those areas are significantly less "well-off" financially than most of the people up north, but they're not barbarians. Most of the people are trying to stay safe and take care of their business just as much as anyone from outside neighborhoods are and aren't even thinking about harming anyone else.
Answer 2 :
Your better off transferring to the Orange Line & getting off at Western & take the Western bus to 47th St. Damen would be 4 blocks East!! It is a safer route in my opinion.
Answer 3 :
it's becoming more of a popular belief that the southside and the westwide of chicago is not one's "ideal neighborhoods", safe, or entertaining. But that's not to any extent the case. the southside and west are highly an family-oriented (many schools, condominiums, a alot of trees and grass, parks, single family housing, multiple family housing, duplexes, and apartments. That is one of the explainatiions why people are so against or take the southside and westwide into a dim view so deeply. It's not a fun place
