Best industries in Drexel Heights right now

I grew up here but left for a while. Median household income is $75,152, which feels about average for the area. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Is this normal for Drexel Heights? People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Weather-wise, the summers are pretty good and winters are developing. You get used to it after the first year.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem decent.

I've been here 13 years and the quality of life is solid. The thing nobody mentions is school system. It's developing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the food scene is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is average.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Sunset side vs the Oak Park side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Would recommend to anyone considering it..

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are tough, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.
