Norwood Park is a great family friendly neighborhood with lots of food, fun and outdoor parks to enjoy with your family. It is a safe neighborhood that houses a lot of Chicago's finest policemen and firefighters.

I have spent practically my entire life here. Seen business come and go, families grow, the works. I have attended both public and private schools in the area, all the same. Lots of firefighters and cops, lots of the Irish and Polish.
