Burr Ridge quality of life -am I missing something?

Hello, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Crime rate is something to consider -Burr Ridge sits at 64.7 per 100K. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. What neighborhoods would you suggest? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem average.

I've been here 15 years and it's exactly what I was looking for. The thing nobody mentions is community vibe. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the cultural scene is legit. And if you're into camping, this place is challenging.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The The Heights side vs the Fairview side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.

I've been here 10 years and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The thing nobody mentions is nightlife. It's manageable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the pet-friendliness is legit. And if you're into fishing, this place is underrated.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Maple Ridge side vs the Meadowbrook side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Good luck with whatever you decide..
