Hi, does anyone know about the safety of South Lawndale neighborhood? I'm a woman in my mid-20s, and might be accepting a job in that area. I would probably have a car, since the school I'd be working at isn't close enough to public transporation. Just wondering if it would be better to steer clear of venturing into that neighborhood at all.

Don't worry, you'll be fine driving through.

What time of day will you be traveling? 22nd and 26th streets are lively during the day. You should be ok....

Thank you for the feedback! I would be at a school in the area, so it would be 8 am to 3 pm.

~40,000 women reside there and live to tell about it. There is a lot of gang presence in that neighborhood but 8-3 isn't exactly peak hours for criminal activity, and not that they're nice people or anything but victimizing women isn't high on their priorities.

Default safety

Is it safe to work at family focus? I was offered a job there. Can I take public transportation? I am not from IL

There is a family focus in North Lawndale, not South Lawndale. In Homan Square. 3517 W Arthrington, right?
