A tight-knit village 12 miles west of Chicago

"There's a lot of pride in ownership for these historic homes." Maywood has an active, churchgoing populace committed to bettering their community, spearheading efforts like Reimagine Maywood, a resident-led campaign to restore the village's neighborhoods. "The mayor is spending a lot of energy to bring back the older areas," Krus says.
