What a great disscusion I have lived in Chicago for 25 years recently move to Croen Point, Indian and when I tell people I grew up with that I moved to Indiana I do think they have this GARY Image and think why do you live there but whrn they visit they are extremely impressed ... so it a complete judgement call and you would have to see it to believe it!!! I love my toen I will never leave it... I was rasied in the Chicago Public School system and Ill be the first to tell you Crown Point Public school is like Private school form where I came from so I am blessed to have found CP and all that comes with it....

Default Moving to CP?

My wife and I have been considering a move to CP from NW Ill. but have been told by several people, one a real estate agent, that the North side of CP is going to the dogs. If this is true what part of CP is worth investing in?

JMurr, I used to live in NW Illinois. Where are you at?

My parents lived in CP, and I graduated from their High School.

I'm also not familiar with any part of Crown Point that's declining.

Sorry Cap. Dan , I was misinformed, part of CP is in Porter Twp. not Cty. I understood the North Side is not so great anymore. I have seen houses on Realtor.Com priced much lower for comparable housing on the N. side as opposed to S.

Certainly there are northern parts of CP that are more established, but to categorize it as "going to the dogs" is ridiculous.
