Lakewood-Balmoral

Score Breakdown

About this Neighborhood

Lakewood-Balmoral shows an unusual split: a strong Walk Score of 90 and an affordable median rent around $1,592, with no flood risk flagged — yet no walkable POIs registered in the immediate area sampled, which is why the vibe score lands at 0. The street grid here is built for walking even if this particular slice didn't pick up amenities in the count. The nearby food scene is genuinely strong, a 4.8 Yelp average across 4,254 reviews, with Taste of Lebanon, Chicago Magic Lounge, and Tesfa Ethiopian Cuisine among the highlights. So the surroundings clearly have life and a walk-friendly layout; the empty POI count reflects this exact sampled pocket more than the broader area's potential.
