Des Plaines is underrated, change my mind

My family moved here when I was a kid. You can expect to pay around $1,435 for rent here. Homes are going for about $318,200 on average. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Am I wrong here? Thanks for reading. The weather takes some getting used to. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 4-bedroom. I love the pace of life here. Compared to San Diego it's better than expected.

Weather-wise, the summers are tough and winters are stable. You get used to it after the first year.
