Chicago area Deucers, please unironically describe the Jefferson Park area for me

We have a new team member that will be relocating to Charlotte and is trying to determine what area to focus her search. She's younger, so my default was to suggest the areas with a lot of young professionals. But she said she's willing to sacrifice lifestyle for quiet affordability. I asked her what area she lives in now and if she likes it and she said Jefferson Park, which I'm not overly familiar with.

Hoping with some good descriptions I can equate it to areas of Charlotte that may give her a similar vibe.

Just don't confuse it with Garfield Park which is an open air gun range. *

I lived in Edison Park for 3 years and loved it. Mean Gene's comments are correct.

Nice place to live, safe, etc. Easy to hop on the Metra or Blue line too.

Brandon Schrock of Laredo, Texas, told the federal government that his employer was “poop,” and his occupation was “pooper.”

I feel like Beverly is to the South Side what Jefferson Park is to the North Side*

That's probably good right there. JMHO, but Edison Park > Jefferson.
