Overall clean, quiet and family oriented neighborhood. I hope it stays this way and a lot of crime does not creep into the neighborhood. Also, I hope the Edison Park area resturants stop closing...we dont need too many more vacant storefronts and resturants...otherwise the neighborhood will start to go down and it will start looking like 6 corners

The closest to suburban living. I lived there and was the manager of the BP gas station on the corners of Harlem, Devon, and Northwest highway.. for 15 years. I loved my job because my customers, local and beyond, always made me feel I was where I belonged

I love living in Edison park because the community is very safe. I don't feel that when I walk down the street I will be in danger. I love that there are amazing restaurants and little shops that I can walk to.
