Great place to live and safe. Nice houses and gyms close by. Downtown is 25 min away in skyway. Housing is great and neighbors are nice. Reconnect living here.

The East Side is my childhood I live and treasure. Many people over the Chicago area don't really know about this area because of how small it is and far out it is from the city. However being a small community has it's many pros because of everyone knowing one another making it a safer place to live. It is predominately a Hispanic community that continues to grow . I love waking up knowing that I have family and friends around me that I have grew up with and continue to do so. East Side is not just an area I have been apart of for eighteen years but a place that has shaped the young independent woman I am turning into. Through this neighborhood I have faced many challenges but have been able to overcome them because of the little things such as my close friends and family who always have my back.

Growing up on the far south east end of Chicago was a wonderful childhood. Families knew each other and watched out for each other. And there were plenty of activities for children. Unfortunately these days, many small businesses are no longer there, children are pulled into gangs and drug and its lost its family closeness.
