Cosby Bernard. The neighborhood was traffic-calmed a few years ago to prevent Illinois motorists from using it as a cut-through. The tree-lined streets are now quiet, nearly car-free and perfect for evening walks or family play. Several families with kids have recently moved in to the neighborhood, while other neighbors are long-standing residents and fun people. The 80/94 expressway and South Shore rail are easily accessible within minutes. Downtown Chicago and the Indiana Dunes are about thirty minutes away.
