Beautiful Place to Live 5 rating By 123maxabc ( Aug 06, 2017) One of my favorite suburbs of all Chicago. Infested with intellectual businessmen and doctors. Also a great family friendly area with absolutely NO areas to avoid. You could stay out at 11 pm and still have friendly people to talk to. Crime is almost inexistent in this area. No n ...Read More eed to be scared in any area you walk by, even the teenagers are very respectful. Is bordered by Edison Park below it, which I think is the best neighborhood in Chicago. In all, it is a very good place to live and raise respectful kids, but be warned, you are going to need the cash to live here. Read Less
