Curious what people think. Median household income is $66,912, which feels about average for the area. Has anyone dealt with this? Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Came here for my partner's job and stayed because it's exactly what I was looking for. The nightlife is honestly solid and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

My experience has been mostly positive. it's been a really good experience overall. The only thing I'd watch out for is cost of living. Other than that, Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, the quality of life is solid. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem solid.
I've been here 12 years and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The thing nobody mentions is nightlife. It's reasonable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the community vibe is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is average.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Greenfield side vs the Oak Park side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Bought a house here in 2017 and I love the pace of life here. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 1 years ago from Miami and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Sunset. It's underrated for what you get.
Jobs: The market is manageable right now, especially in marketing. If you're in hospitality you might struggle.
People: Generally improving. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Indian.
All Countries
