  • Matthew
    "Morgan park is a nice quiet little community tucked away from the rest of the city. It was built in the early 1900's and since many of the original buildings remain, it has retained its character and charm from that era. The residents are very friendly which gives it the feel of a nice small town, although it only a few minutes from the amenities of the city. "
  • Brian B.
    "Built by US Steel, Morgan Park is a true historic disctrict. The homes were built by the company to house their workers and have several floor plans based on the owner, manager, executive, etc. They featured all utilities underground and the community had a school, hospital, shopping, bank and a Catholic and Protestant church.
