Whats it like living in the McKinley Park neighborhood of Chicago?

McKinley Park is actually one of my favorite South Side neighborhoods. It's very safe and welcoming, the park itself is nice and quite an attraction, and I feel like you could raise a family here fairly well. The only real downside is that McKinley Park is sorta slow/boring. I've had a hard time finding much to do here, so if you're single and looking to have drinks with friends a lot, you will likely do better elsewhere.

McKinley Park borders Brighton Park and both areas are predominately Hispanic. McKinley has a large park that has ballfields, a lagoon, swimming pool and some of the largest trees you will see in the city.

Archer Avenue is the main thoroughfare that dissects these two neighbors. They are both considered working-class communities.

There are great places to eat too - most notable are Tio Luis Tacos, La Palapa, El Rey Del Taco & Burritos, Lindy's Chili, and Huck Finn.
