The big three most dangerous apartment complex neighborhoods are the buildings surrounding Ladley Court north of Stevenson Drive, The MacArthur Park Apartments, and now, just graduating from burglaries to violent robberies, the apartment buildings on Seven Pines road just east of Chatham Road.
Ladley Court is surrounded by Stanton, Taylor, and Stevenson, and holds the record for the highest number of gun related crimes in a small area.
The MacArthur Park Apartments are bordered by Maple Ave., West Iles, S. Lincoln Ave., and MacArthur, and had the widest variety of incidents requiring police, but not nearly as many gun crimes in the same period.
The Seven Pines area is bordered by railroad tracks to the north , Westchester Blvd to the south, Chatham road to the west, and eventually turns into Shiloh Drive to to east. This area had a few burglaries until a man was robbed and beaten in his own apartment by people who came to visit him. The incident was reported on SJ-R.com today.
Oddly however, other crime reported over the rest of Springfield seems to have somewhat of an even distribution. Vandalism and burglaries on the north and west appear to happen outside the main perimeter of apartment complex neighborhoods, with vandalism occurring the closest, and more heinous crimes graduating outward. It's just a guess. comments are always welcome.
