Gogo's take on West Rosemont
“Go with care. West Rosemont is a largely residential community built around lakes and parks that is generally quiet during the day, but parts of the surrounding Rosemont corridor experience elevated rates of property crime and occasional violent incidents. Visitors should remain aware of their surroundings, particularly along commercial corridors like North Orange Blossom Trail and late at night.”
Local law enforcement has periodically focused patrols along the Orange Blossom Trail and North Lane corridors to curb vehicle burglaries and occasional weapon-related disturbances in multi-family complexes.
