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.

This area is a very safe place for kids, and there are many good influences surrounding my neighborhood. From my knowledge of my neighborhood, I gather that there is minimal crime and I recommend this neighborhood to people looking for somewhere to live if they are interested in a great community.

Overall the neighborhood is quiet and safe but for anything fun to do the quality life is almost non existent and the neighborhood is mainly for older people or those with families
