Olympia Fields Reviews
Rating 3.32 out of 5 38 reviews
I’ve been here for almost 2 years. It is often quiet, and the neighbors are kind and mind their business. Overall, it is a nice small community. We have places like Walmart, Mcdonald’s, etc. but we need more place for small businesses. I also think we need sidewalks because you have to walk or ride your bike on the side of the road and have to watch for cars. There are also elderly people in the community here and there. The school districts here are confusing as well. It’s 3-4 school districts in the community, with the main one being District 162. I like it here though, we just need improvements here and there.
The neighborhood is clean, the citizens pick up trash. We have health stores, and healthy living is promoted. The homes in the neighborhood range from $150,000 to $600,000. It is easy to commute around we have buses, and trains.
My experience living in Olympia Fields is overall a great experience, neighbors are friendly and you can find lots of youth that are thriving here as well. Olympia Fields is a very safe, quiet neighborhood with several parks and it makes a great place to raise a family. I would love to see more infrastructure such as street lights and side walks throughout the neighborhood to make it more pedestrian friendly.
