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.

The area has improved a lot since my parents first lived here almost 40 years ago. There are a few great restaurants nearby. It's mostly single family residences and 2-/4-/6-flats.

I have lived in Avondale for 12 years. I have seen the neighborhood change, for the good as well as the bad. There has been a lot of new business and newly developed housing. However, there has also been a major growth in the homeless population. I don't feel unsafe because of the crime rate. However, I feel unsafe because I live and work in the neighborhood, and I witness firsthand the drug use and paraphernelia littering the area. I often walk out of my home to find a syringe lying on the ground. On a weekly basis I have to call the police to remove people from my workplace because of drug use and/or stealing. Overall, Avondale is not a bad neighborhood, but there needs to be something done about the aforementioned homeless community.
