I lived on West Madison from mid-2016 to mid-2017. People were brutally beaten with a crowbar multiple times, someone got stabbed, a woman was shot to death. Our next-door neighbor constantly did meth and heroin and would ask to borrow our electricity with an extension cord bc he couldn’t afford it. Our house got broken into, our fence was graffitied, gunshots every single night.

I could go on and on.. this was all in only a year’s time. I would say 90% of crime in that area does not get reported. Living there, I learned that in “rough” neighborhoods, people handle things themselves and cops are rarely called. If I were you, I’d visit the area you’re looking at during the night a few times as that’s when it typically gets crazy in my experience.
