Worst things about Crestline nobody talks about
Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Thoughts? The weather takes some getting used to.

We moved here with our family and I have mixed feelings honestly. Schools in Oak Park area are improving. Kids love it here.

I've lived in Riverside for about 8 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Minneapolis, I was surprised by cost of living. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Four distinct seasons
- The job market scene is better than expected
The downsides:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Nightlife is limited
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for families. Feel free to reach out with questions..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a contractor who relocated here from LA about 10 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and cost of living.
Pros I've experienced:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Lots of new development happening
- Diverse dining options
Cons that are real:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Rising rent and home prices
Financially, we've found it solid compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are established, gas is decent.
Socially, the quality of life is solid. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I'm a project manager and I've found I'm still on the fence after all this time. The community is average and there's always something going on.

Used to live on the Eastside side, now on the Old Town side. Completely different vibe. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.
