Good place to raise a family. There are a lot of local businesses and a lot of job opportunities. There are a lot of school options in the area, and the local community is good.

Archer Heights is a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood since the 90s. Archer Heights was named after William Archer a developer in the 1800s. It was inhabited by Italians, Lithuanians and Czechs until the 90's. The community has changed and is a low social economic neighborhood with poverty and crime that has increased over the past 2 years.

The community is relatively safe but seriously lacks proper shopping districts, schools, and infrastructure.
