Look elsewhere. The gangs are getting more active, and more importantly, the residents are becoming more tolerant of gang presence and activity. Littering is epidemic. Hot-rods disturb the peace. The public schools are appalling, even by the low standards of the CPS. People are friendly, and homeowners try to maintain their homes, but they are fighting a losing battle.

My family and I use to be able to have late night walks around seven or eight around the park but that is not possible anymore. We were not scared of anything a few years ago but recently with so many thief's and all the violence, we prefer to stay in. Plenty has changed in the area over time and not for the good. I still hope that I get to experience the awesome and calm neighborhood that I once grew up in.

My community is very diverse. The residences in this community are mostly family owned. The locals are middle class and travel to work daily using the local public transportation source. The area is also comprised of elementary and high school aged students. There is a strong sense of family values although most of the residents don't interact with each other.
