Calming and friendly neighborhood. Surrounded with many near by stores and restaurants options very nice place to live and grow your family with and it’s safe enough to stroll around the neighborhood in the summer!
Not a good place to live, I’ve owned three cars over the past two years. One car was stolen and two others were totaled by drunk drivers. Dropping off my kids was a joke, I saw a group of teens smoking weed around the school premises without school security or patrol in sight. My garage along with three others were burned down because of an arsonist in the area. Nearly got hit by speeding vehicles crossing the street to the nearby mall. I’ve been harassed waiting for a bus at the bus stop. My kids seen lots of fights at the school and said it was a norm. The school needs more funding for quality books, education, security, after school programs, and cafeteria food. Riis Park needs to be cleaned up regularly. The convenience of stores is there, but I’ve noticed it’s not wheel chair friendly. The area could be better if the alderman and the neighborhood got together to improve it. A lot of rich history in the area, it would be nice if there’s a local museum to acknowledge it.
Great community with so many different stores within walking distance, with more expansions in the works (school, restaurants, etc).
