And yes it has a lot of brown people and some folks get scared of that. It does not seem "dangerous" to me, its a hell of a lot safer than most places in Chicago. Still you do need to watch your back and be careful when you are out and about. It does have a lot of garage theft and car break ins. Shootings, murder, rapes, armed robbery...not so much.
You're right. Same happens in Oak Park, to a more serious degree, and all people complain about there is the parking!

If the old style housing seems "ghetto", then toss Lockport on that list!

I like the different styles of houses that are there in Berwyn. I'll be looking around the area more extensively next weekend into possibly buying into the neighborhood. The location to the city along with new businesses cropping up more and more there and community taking care of their neighborhoods there are factors that are really standing out to me as a place that I could call home quite possibly and soon too
