    "Great neighborhood, one way in and one way out, privacy abound. Downfall is no nearby parks or pools and you can’t really walk to grocery stores if you need to, too far, about 1 mile away to closest one. Nice neighborhood restaurants and bars, kid friendly. Great H.S. Easy access to expressways and O’hare. "
