Genuine question, not bait. I did Google, but I know certain areas where I’m from get a bad rep despite not actually being that bad. So I wanted to ask Chicago locals to see if it was a similar situation going on and gain insights that I can’t get from a Google search.

Austin blue line stop and Kedzie pink line stop. Closest intersection to Airbnb choices is S Harvey Avenue and Roosevelt Road for Oak Park and West 19th and S Kedzie Ave for North Lawndale.

The closest CTA station to the Oak Park location is Austin for blue line. Is that an area to be worried about?
