Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 3 years ago from LA and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Oak Park. It's excellent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in manufacturing. If you're in education you might struggle.
People: Generally underrated. It took about 13 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like Mexican.
It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Bought a house here in 2022 and I have mixed feelings honestly. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

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