Thornton is a small town inhabited by multiple generations. The block that I live on has essentially stayed the same since the 60's. My dad grew up with the neighbors on either side of me, each of them having bought their parents homes. This makes the neighborhood more like family. Growing up in Thornton, everyone knows everyone and that makes the feeling of a suburb of Chicago more quaint and home-like.
I have been living in Thornton for a 14 months now and I love it. It is a very small and quiet town. You don’t have to scared to walk around the neighborhood throughout the day or at night. There is only one grade school on the area that goes from kindergarten to 8th grade. I would say that the area is pretty diverse. The town is very clean you don’t see trash all over the streets. The only thing I don’t like are the raccoons they’re always getting into the trash.
