Affordable areas near Cicero?

Anyone else feel this way? I'm single, late 40s, and It's a a smaller city city with about 83,223 people. Household incomes average around $68,548 in Cicero. The city has invested a lot in new development. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

I've lived in Old Town for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it exceeded my expectations. When I first moved here from Denver, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Decent public transit for the size
- The nightlife scene is better than expected

The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Not a lot of cultural diversity

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for young professionals. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
