I am a little surprised that the majority of the postings on this website are comlaints. I have been living here 2 years and am pretty happy. No neighborhood is perfect and I think Hickory Hills is a decent place to be. I was not home on Halloween - the house was dark & I had no problems. I frequent the big pool and have only raised my eyebrows a couple of times. Most kids are there having a good time, unfortunately the teenagers do tend to get a little rough, but let's face it - they are teenagers. I think the grounds are kept nicely (except the front entrance & I should have been doing my part all along!) I've lived in many neighborhoods - none are perfect - you have to expect a little bad anywhere you go. I know people that live in a VERY high class neighborhood and they have had more problems than I have had here!!
