Pros

High-achieving charter school in the area.
Plans for investment and development.

Cons

Some areas of high crime.
Little to no new housing in recent years.

Known by the locals simply as Lawndale, Chicago's North Lawndale neighborhood is home to the largest concentration of greystones in the city of Chicago. It's located only 6miles from downtown. So, getting to the downtown area for work or recreation is convenient with Interstate 290 only minutes away. Unfortunately, this area has a reputation as one of the poorer neighborhoods in the city. However, many people see the North Lawndale as a good investment because there are several projects planned for the area that could aid in its revitalization over the next couple of years.
