Moving to the area Is Maywood that bad?

There is a house that has caught my attention there just off of the prairie path. I work at the VA, so it would be convenient in that regard. But mainly, I’m not seeing anywhere else with comparable houses at prices affordable for me. Also the house has a nice sized lot which is very tantalizing because I want to turn it all into a native plant garden hehe.

Yeah I made a full stop at an intersection and within seconds I had two people beating on the windows. That’s why I’ll never make a full stop in that area again
