Working remotely from Bolingbrook

Longtime lurker here, With a population of 73,813, Bolingbrook is a smaller city. You can expect to pay around $1,718 for rent here. Median household income is $107,552, which feels pretty solid for the area. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. What would you do? Property taxes are high but you get good services. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 12 years ago from Denver and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Meadowbrook. It's hit or miss for what you get.

Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in government. If you're in marketing you might struggle.

People: Generally surprisingly good. It took about 4 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like sushi.

It's not for everyone but it works for us..
