    "I've lived in the neighborhood just over a year now, as I have walked through the neighborhood with my dog and driven through it. There is Barton Elementary school close by and the area seems pet friendly. 79th street is busy with a lot of negative activity the further east you go. However the further west you go becomes more peaceful and family oriented. There are several new shopping options like Walmart, Dollar Tree and Aldi that have opened on 76th and Ashland. The community has both homes and rental apts available, however there seems to be an uptick in rehabbed home sales that are causing the home values to significantly increase to 200k plus, several have listed for 300k that were complete rehabbed homes. The good news is younger families are moving in purchasing the rehabbed homes, and many long term residents have lived in their homes 30 plus years. Most of the blocks are quiet, you dont see gangs on the corners, nor do you see drug dealing or prostitution. the area has a city of chicago incentive zone, so many police, teachers, fireman and other city "
