With a population of 29,904, Algonquin is a smaller city. The unemployment rate is 3.2%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $324,000 on average. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The city has invested a lot in new development.
Pros:
- Great weather

- Low crime in most areas
- Low taxes
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- High property taxes
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Chain restaurants dominate
