    "I love this neighborhood. The tree lined streets and unique houses make it very enjoyable year round. It’s very central to many neighborhoods in Chicago making it easy to get to Wicker Park, Lakeview, Downtown, and the Lake Path. For being a big city, it’s a very quiet neighborhood. I’ve lived in several different neighborhoods in Chicago and this is by far the most peaceful!"
