My family moved here when I was a kid. You can expect to pay around $946 for rent here. Crime rate is something to consider -Cicero sits at 105.2 per 100K. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The city has invested a lot in new development. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
