Anyone else love living in Berwyn?

Hey, Just moved here 13 months ago and Crime rate is something to consider -Berwyn sits at 208.4 per 100K. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. What are your go-to spots? People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The city has invested a lot in new development.
