Known to the locals as "the Hilltop," Carrick is filled with green space and parks for residents to enjoy. Phillips Park provides many activities for everyone, such as outdoor movies, live jazz concerts in the summer, a dedicated off-leash dog park, fitness walks and 5K runs, and summer day camps.
The neighborhood has grocers, stores, and locally owned restaurants, many of which are located along Brownsville Road, the main thoroughfare in the neighborhood. Shop for fresh produce and support local farmers at the Carrick Farmers Market or try longstanding favorites like Ester's Homemade Candy, which has been in business for over 40 years. For even more options for shopping and dining, residents can hop on Highway 51 or use one of Carrick’s subway stations to travel into the heart of the city.

We bought our house a few months ago. I love that I could afford my home. My neighbors are nice, and I can walk to many businesses/services. We are on the border of Brentwood and feel we get the best of both communities. While Carrick is in need of some revitalization, I can see it happening. The library is new. New businesses are opening, and the Community Council is dedicated to improving our community. For those concerned about safety, I've been walking my dog around 10-10:30pm every night without issue.

Carrick is very diverse. It has a lot of drug overdoses. Sometimes you will even see drug deals going on right beside you. However, overall, it is safe.
