Longtime lurker here, I work in finance and Household incomes average around $75,449 in Bloomington. The median home value here is around $198,800, which is actually reasonable. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Anyone in a similar situation? Cheers. The suburbs are where most families end up. The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.
