Overall clean, quiet and family oriented neighborhood. I hope it stays this way and a lot of crime does not creep into the neighborhood. Also, I hope the Edison Park area resturants stop closing...we dont need too many more vacant storefronts and resturants...otherwise the neighborhood will start to go down and it will start looking like 6 corners
There is literally no diversity here in Edison Park. Sorry to break it to you, but we are the whitest neighborhood in Chicago, practically not even in the city limits, and sheltered from so much. I love it, but that is the biggest problem and can't be ignored. I went to the local elementary school(Ebinger), which is getting better as the years go on, I guess. It doesn't have its own "L" station on the blue line, which is disappointing. Most people here who work downtown use the Metra. For the most part, it's a really good community. It's extremely small and close knit where people know mostly everyone. The Edison Park Turkey Trot is always wonderful.
I've lived in EP for 7 years, first as a renter, and now as a homeowner. It is very safe, clean, and much more affordable than Sauganash or Forest Glen. The schools are amazing, and it's little wonder; a lot of teachers live in the area, and the competition is fierce for them to get a spot teaching at the excellent elementary schools or Taft HS. I am a CPS Teacher, and while I have to live in the city as part of my employment, my wife and I probably would have settled on EP anyways, as it is very convenient to get down by the lake where I work, or out to Arlington Heights where my wife works. There is less diversity than other neighborhoods, but I have never seen or heard of someone being treated differently, at least since I moved to the neighborhood in 2012.
