Crime will be a problem in any Chicago neighborhood. Being close to downtown does make crime a little higher. While this neighborhood is upper-class, it attracts a higher theft rate in comparison to street crime. I usually feel safe but you have to be careful in this show.

Even at night it's generally pretty safe here with the exceptions being Division Street and the Viagra Triangle. However, cops and firefighters are very quick to respond in this neighborhood.
