Best industries in Chesterbrook right now

OK so I grew up here but left for a while. With a population of 5,439, Chesterbrook is a small town. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. What are your go-to spots? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem hit or miss.

I've been here 10 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is traffic. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the cost of living is legit. And if you're into rock climbing, this place is excellent.

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

Good luck with whatever you decide..

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want food scene, then yeah this place is great. But if pet-friendliness matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Moved here from Houston about 3 years ago. I have mixed feelings honestly. Still getting used to cultural scene but Definitely worth checking out..

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are average, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.
