Morgan park is ok... It really depends on what part of Morgan park you live in.Up hill towards western is pretty nice diverse black and white families but once you go down hill from Vincennes Ave to Halsted St it's a completely different Morgan park a lot of gangs,shootings/murders,robberies etc.That part of Morgan park is east Morgan park and i wouldn't raise my family on that side of Morgan park knowing what I know about that area but that area. Like I said Morgan park is a ok... area just really depends on what side of Morgan park you live in.For raising families I suggest the Morgan park up hill towards Western Ave or California which is west Morgan park I would avoid finding homes down hill towards Vincennes Ave or Halsted ST which is east Morgan park.

Location wise, Morgan Park is right next to the southern suburbs but still in the city. There isn't much diversity but there are parks and places for family activities

What i like about morgan park is that, it is very diverse and very cultural. We have different parks and museums you can visit and have fun at. We also have so much variety of foods and resturants you can eat at. you can meet different people from different backgrounds. I want to improve the school systems. Build better schools and find good teachers that will help our students excell and become better people of tommorrow.

The thing that I like about Morgan Park is how calm and quiet it is. There are rarely any violence in this area. Something that could change is the renting prices for apartments and houses.
