Anyone else love living in Inwood?

Crime rate is something to consider -Inwood sits at 623.4 per 100K. Poverty rate is 26.2%, which is higher than I expected. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The suburbs are where most families end up. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem solid.

I've been here 2 years and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The thing nobody mentions is safety. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the pet-friendliness is legit. And if you're into golfing, this place is challenging.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Oak Park side vs the Cedar Grove side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Bought a house here in 2016 and it's exactly what I was looking for. Property values have gone about the same since then.
