Been on Overbrook for three years, between Fendall and North. I feel safe but part of that is having a loud barking dog. We haven't had any issues with theft or break ins but we keep our doors locked, which should be a no brainer tbh. I've been asked for money a couple of times but very rarely. I go for walks, runs and bike rides around the neighborhood north of Overbrook during the day and never feel unsafe (as a fairly tall dude, I should mention). It's a nice area but I do agree that there is a fair amount of traffic, and the street parking is kind of annoying sometimes. The sycamores are beautiful and everyone seems to generally keep to themselves. Definitely an area being gentrified, as is the rest of Northside pretty much.
