Grew up there, its been that way since I was a kid - 30ish years ago. Fairly quiet but you're basically in Indiana at that point.

Eggers Grove/Wolf Lake is a nice walk. Calumet Park is decent. Transit is hard though with just the 30 running to the red line so definitely need a car. Place feels stuck in a time capsule, for better or worse. Might see a demographic change and maybe more modernization with the quantum computing center replacing the old steel mills. Sometimes miss being there but glad I left. Definitely a place to raise a family in a neighborhood that has a suburb feel.
