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.

I like how we all know each other. We greet people that walk past our street. It is a very friendly neighborhood. With this being said, I would want our neighborhood to be more clean. I do see trash on the ground a lot and I feel this needs to change.

The fact that my area is close to so many fun areas and food locals makes it amazing. However the crime rate is a bit too high.
