Is Beresford getting better or worse?

Hey, I relocated for work and The median home value here is around $219,800, which is actually reasonable. Household incomes average around $71,017 in Beresford. Poverty rate is 3.6%, which is pretty low. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

Pros:
- Good schools
- Easy commute
- Walkable downtown
- Plenty of shopping options
- Active local events

Cons:
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Not enough green space
Has anyone dealt with this? Thanks! I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The suburbs are where most families end up. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The weather takes some getting used to. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

Public transit is excellent here. You'll probably need a car for most things. the quality of life is solid.

Hot take but it's exactly what I was looking for. I know a lot of people disagree but after 12 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Used to live on the Oak Park side, now on the Cedar Grove side. Completely different vibe. I genuinely enjoy living here.
