I have been living in Garfield Ridge for about nine to ten years. I feel safe and welcomed in the neighborhood. I have some close relatives and friends living near me which helps me to communicate and go out with them. I have public transportation near me and a few retail stores and restaurants. Garfield Ridge is a calm, peaceful, and clean neighborhood. Its family friendly. Midway airport is in the area which is helpful for everyone to who can travel nearby.
Very quite and safe neighborhood. Everyone looks out for one another and a lot of close things around as well! Local restaurants and business are great just wish they added a few more. Aside from that it’s a great neighborhood to raise small children. Close to I55 so making it very easy to get places!
Garfield Ridge is one of the 77 community areas in Chicago located southwest from downtown. The public schools in this area are excellent, not only are the facilities well managed, but the students that compromise them are always excelling. This neighborhood sees little violence and crime in the span of a year. Another bonus to living here is that there's a variety of small businesses selling everything from bakery items, restaurants, bike shops, etc. One thing that can catch you off guard in this neighborhood is the vast amount of noise pollution produced by the jets taking off/landing at the airport nearby.
