    "This neighborhood is in between the ritzy German Village and low rent Southern Orchards. Itsā€™ inhabitants are friendly. Foot traffic to and from Schiller Park includes residents from all surrounding neighborhoods. Our house was broken into once in the 3 years we lived here. Nice enough area but still city living. "
