Slavic Village is comprised of several unique neighborhoods with thriving block clubs. These clubs were formed out of a passion for the neighborhood and building community by residents coming together to help each other and sponsoring events and initiatives.

The Warszawa Block club is concerned with (1) keeping the neighborhood clean, (2) helping each other beautify, and (3) addressing traffic safety in a highly dense residential neighborhood. There are a lot of children in the area who play on the street and ride bikes, and parents are concerned with cars not stopping at stop signs, speeding, and the lack of basic traffic enforcement.
