My neighborhood is in the southside of Chicago, so there is always a lot going on. On a regular basis, there would be gunshots and I would hear about crime around the area of where I live. However, it is a great neighborhood in a different sense because of its convenience. There are many restaurants, fast-food places, even grocery stores around for all people to access.

What I like of brighton park is that it is a big park where they have ponds for ducks/birds, 2 spaces to play tennis, basketball court, baseball court, playground for kids and it is a great idea to go and walk. Definitely it is a day well spent. Something I would change would be more parking space.

I have grown up in the Brighton Park area. While it is not the safest neighborhood it is not too dangerous. There are a lot of great people and it is becoming safer as teenagers begin to grow up. There are many restaurants and bakeries, among other local businesses. The Orange line runs through Brighton Park and there are several bus stops all along the main streets.
