Housing market in Cicero right now

My partner and I are Poverty rate is 10.0%, which is pretty low. Crime rate is something to consider -Cicero sits at 317.5 per 100K. It's a a smaller city city with about 83,223 people. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Nice parks and trails
- Low taxes

Cons:
- Hot summers
- Not very walkable
- High property taxes
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Not enough green space
What do you all think? The food scene here is surprisingly good. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
