Moving from Chicago to Bloomington next month

Median household income is $75,449, which feels about average for the area. The median home value here is around $198,800, which is actually reasonable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Used to live on the Maple Ridge side, now on the Westside side. Completely different vibe. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 2-bedroom. it's exactly what I was looking for. Compared to Atlanta it's tough.
