I have not had any issues and the neighborhood gets nicer as you get towards the river. No stolen packages, no car break-ins, etc... even with the heavy foot traffic at the overlook we have had no issues. The start of Oregon Hill is not very nice with mostly run down townhouses that college students rent. Overall, this is safe neighborhood where we live with can't beat views.

Great out of the way neighborhood. New (2007) at the end where the house is. Easy walking to river, Belle Island, Brown Island, Northbank trail. Great views. Downside is the amount of pedestrians going to the river. Makes it feel safe however. No night scene in the neighborhood. Mamazoo's amazing food is a 3 minute walk. Commute around 25 minutes. Belvidere to 95 to 64 west.
