Hey, It's a a mid-size city city with about 108K people. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The weather takes some getting used to. Am I wrong here? Cheers. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

I've lived in Oak Park for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Denver, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Affordable housing options
- The safety scene is solid
The downsides:
- Dating scene is rough
- Far from beaches/mountains
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for families. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
