My first house was in Hanover Park. It was a so-so area when we moved in and it was going downhill fast when we moved out in '98. Plenty of gangs, drugs and illegal aliens. I would avoid it, there are plenty of other areas to live in near there. The only thing Hanover has going for it is low housing prices.

Had a town house there. We got out in 1990 because it was getting bad. The single family home areas are better, but you can do better for similar money especially in this economy.

Do not buy a house in Hanover Park!!!!!!  Roselle is right next door to the east and is much nicer.  I used to be a police officer in Roselle.  The village board is a bunch of hitlers, but over all it's a nice place.

Hanover Park has some rougher areas but also has some good areas so it really depends. I live in Bartlett which is right next to Hanover Park. Im also in the real estate business on both the brokerage and appraisal end, I have done alot of work in Hanover Park over the years..... there are some good bargains there currently. If your looking for a more solid area in terms of home prices along with better kept homes then looking into the Bartlett or Roselle area may be a good idea.

+1, not too far away from Hanover and SUBSTANTIALLY nicer.  We've been here since '08 and have been very happy.

Hanover and Carol Stream have had gang activity on a huge increase for the past 5 years or so.  Apparently a lot of the higher ups from the larger Chicago gangs have moved to HP and CS as of late.

Grew up in Carol Stream, it used to be really nice. Spent a lot of time in Hanover Park in my life, wouldn't want to live there! I live in Glen Ellyn now, closer to the city, and the neighborhoods are beautiful like some parts of Bartlett.
