•  Oak Park is a well established area & doesn't need or qualify as an area for gentrification
• .Humboldt Park is being gentrified.  Some great pockets right on the edge of some not so great pockets.  Great article a few months ago about a family saying they may be forced to leave because the crime on their block is too low & it's driving up prices.
• Garfield Park- Long way to go.
• Pilsen is being gentrified.  Residents of Pilsen are actively fighting it but their loosing.
• Avondale- hot, hot, hot
• Bridgeport- happening

Here's a link to a report about Gentrification in the Chicago area.  I'd use it w/ caution though as it reflects neighborhood changes thru 2010.
