Is Downers Grove worth moving to in 2026?

Hi all, I relocated for work and You can expect to pay around $1,589 for rent here. The unemployment rate is 2.7%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. Rent is about $1,589/month for a decent place. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Let me know your thoughts. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The city has invested a lot in new development. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The suburbs are where most families end up.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want nightlife, then yeah this place is great. But if job market matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
