Q. Is Little Village in Chicago Safe?
It’s very safe for the most part as I rarely see or hear anything about a major crime happening here. You don’t have to worry about not being safe walking your dog or carrying your kid to the park. The traffic is a little bad but it’s many side streets to cut through to get to places faster.
