I have lived in Streamwood my whole life and the conditions are less than ideal. The city is dirty, run-down, and violent. Although the city has improved over the years violence still occurs and many run-down buildings are present. Empty houses and lots fill the neighborhood and the forest preserve is full of trash. The community center needs to be renovated and the roads need to be repaved. The high school's academics are below average and changes must be made to improve the city.
Streamwood is an overall average city with a pretty calm lifestyle. There are an average amount of opportunities, although the schools lack a good education and environment. The schools should be improved, but other than that it's a pretty okay place to live. I've lived here all my life and felt like I belong. It's a welcoming community with mostly friendly people and affordable housing.
I LOVE Streamwood. Such a great environment to live in, everyone is very kind and friendly. There's great events during the summer like Streamwood Summer Festival. SSF is a family event, there's many fun rides and great music/food options! Streamwood is a safe community, police do an amazing job on keeping us safe. Streamwood rocks!!!
