Wicker Park Reviews

During the time that I have lived in Wicker Park, I have always felt a sense of belonging. When I walk out the door, I am always anticipating the type of interactions that I will have with neighbors around me and visitors passing through. I have had the opportunity to walk through this area with having over a foot of snow outside. I hope once the vaccine is more widely available, I can explore the rest of the options that the community offers within this great city. I also hope to be more involved in community initiatives and programs surrounding me to help better the area.
In Wicker Park, I never felt unsafe or in danger while outside. There were many local businesses and parks just walking distance away.
I love all the restaurants and bars in the 6-corners area. People are generally really nice and I like that it is more diverse than other areas of the north side. However, the crime and violence rate has gone up so much that I don’t feel safe outside alone at night.
