I have lived in this neighborhood for about 10 years and love it! All neighbors and residents are very friendly and kind. Olympia Fields is also a very safe and quiet place to live. I have never experienced or heard of any robberies, theft, crime, etc. There are alot of store nearbys. The town has a ton of activites to offer especially during the summertime.
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.
Olympia fields is an utterly beautiful and elegant village. It is the safest village in the southland of Cook County, it is one of the wealthiest and most college educated majority African American Communities in the United States with a median household income of 96,000, the school districts that serve the area are improving, the park district is amazing, the country club is one of the most prestigious in the world, it has a rich and interesting history, the homes are beautiful, it has many chic subdivisions such as Graymoor and The Greens, the home values are high and have been steadily recovering since the market crash of 2008. All of these and much more are the reasons that Olympia Fields deserves to recognized as one of the best communities in the world.
