    "Andersonville: Lived here since 2016. Friendly, liberal, diversified, wonderful restaurants, low crime, nearby grocery, drug stores, and small businesses. Public transportation at your fingertips. Walking distance to Lake Michigan beaches, bicycle, and running trails. Village-like atmosphere, but close to downtown Chicago and its many sights, museums, art galleries, and theater. Great place to live! "

    "The Sommerfest, the weekly farmer’s market, sidewalk sales, Viking pub crawl and many more events make this neighborhood fun. It is also a fairly quiet neighborhood; if you want lots of nightlife, live farther south. We are older, and really love the inclusive, friendly vibe here."

People are especially friendly, everyone says hello and if you have children or dogs they tend to be more talkative.
