Great place to live and safe. Nice houses and gyms close by. Downtown is 25 min away in skyway. Housing is great and neighbors are nice. Reconnect living here.

I have resided on the East side of Chicago my whole life and I am proud to be able to say that. It is a small community so everyone knows everyone, but it has grew to be slightly dangerous with all of the violence and gang activity occurring in Chicago neighborhoods. Nevertheless, the east side is known for its unique characteristics and ingrained history which I honor.

I would love to see less violence, and more resources being provided for young people in order to motivate them to go to college.
