I grew up living in this neighborhood. I'm used to the traffic, night life and crime. The crime rates have been higher now, but usually things are okay as long as you don't get into any issues with anyone.

i liked the coziness of being surrounded by fellow minorities aswell as my culture in the form of mexican restaurants, cultural murals, etc. what Id like to see change is the amount of violence that goes on there.

My neighborhood is in the southside of Chicago, so there is always a lot going on. On a regular basis, there would be gunshots and I would hear about crime around the area of where I live. However, it is a great neighborhood in a different sense because of its convenience. There are many restaurants, fast-food places, even grocery stores around for all people to access.

Very family oriented neighborhood, safe and quiet, plus conveniently located near restaurants, train/bus stops, and 22 min away from burbs, lake, etc.
