I have lived in Berwyn for a large portion of my life. It's a diverse, ever evolving town. The amount of ethnicities I have seen inside and outside of school is amazing. It emits a feeling of inclusivity; because everyone is different! As a 16 year old student though, my perspective may differ from others (seeing that my life revolves primarily around school). Besides the people, Berwyn has a lot of opportunities that suffice "family friendly-ness" and job opportunities. Locations such as Cermak Plaza and North Riverside Park Mall give substantial amounts of opportunity to anyone looking for work. Parks such as Proska and Sunshine inspire families to safely enjoy their outings; no matter the season. Other Berywn-institutions such as the police department uphold the law in a just, non-biased manner - a favorite of mine. Although, some problems I have personally had include the nightlife, as some people may be a bit brutish; specifically within my age group.
Berwyn is a very nice neighborhood to live in, especially when you have a family. Berwyn is a very safe place where the crime rate is low. Berwyn is a very family oriented neighborhood where people lookout for each other families. The neighborhood watch club is very essential in Berwyn, because chicago it one on the neighboring cites that has a very high crime rate. Schools in berwyn are very safe with police in and out the building. Berwyn is a very diverse town where there is no racial issues occur occuring. Berwyn is the town to living in for convenience with grocery stores and lomats close by. I would suggest berwyn to be one of the neighboring city to live in , because it's close to downtown with highways nearby. There are hospitals near if medical care is needed for you or family. Berwyn is a big supporter of mental health there are several, mental health facilities nearby. Berwyn police is very much in the community to make sure that the people in the community is very safe.
I have been living here in Berwyn all my life. The neighborhood around here is very safe to hangout with friends. Durning the summer the whole street for where I live get together and have a block party. However there are times were it is not as great as it may seem. Theres been eventually a time where people come and had robbed us before, it was more then once already but other than that we take extra precaution to stay safe in our own homes. Theres never been a time where the community was in chaos, it is a very clam place to be in. The stores are also close by and easy for transportation. Overall Berwyn is a very great place where everyone can be happy and have their own will to do what they want.
