Feels like Chicago, but also residential with families, so not as loud. Some crime and gang activity. Also considerable and sometimes negative gentrification.

Since I work and go to school far from this area, I do not go eat around here. However, the times I have looked for a nice, unique place, there are not many options but the typical Mexican and Asian food that I can find anywhere I go. I love Mexican and Asian foods, however, it will be nice to have something newer and different by the neighborhood. Moreover, I am not a drinker so I would not know about good drink specials, but I do know that there is maybe one bar around this neighborhood.

Albany Park is so friendly, and it is well kept. People enjoy the resources and are active around the neighborhood. There are many kids, so it is full of life and events. I grew up in Albany Park and rarely had a bad experience. The schooling, stores, services, and restaurants are wonderful, and has near by transportation.
