One of the most suburbiest Chicago neighborhoods that I've seen. Really has the best of both worlds in terms of SFH neighborhoods, being close to transit and having walkable nightlife.

Avondale used to be a very bad neighborhood but it has gentrified a lot and it is right next to Logan square so both areas are up and becoming more trendy every year. Still the neighborhood is not too safe and it has its down sides. There are no active shootings anymore but there are a lot of spray paint tags, loud mariachi music, and fireworks, also neighbors may smoke weed and cigarettes on there porch. A perk is it is right next to logan square which is full of trendy businesses and restaurants. Plus it is close to the highway and the blue-line.
