Great area, lived here with my parents for a while. Safe for the most part. Very rare shootings do happen on 55th but other than that it's safe. Living east of Pulaski, north of 55th, south of 51st, is the best part of the area.

The food around here is great. Police station nearby. Schools nearby. Only issue i would say is planes flying overhead since it's close to midway.

The fact that my area is close to so many fun areas and food locals makes it amazing. However the crime rate is a bit too high.
