First post here. I'm a nurse at the local hospital and You can expect to pay around $968 for rent here. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem underrated.
I've been here 14 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is pet-friendliness. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the healthcare is legit. And if you're into golfing, this place is tough.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Old Town side vs the Oak Park side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Hope this helps!.

I work in engineering here and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The job market for my field is decent. Hope this helps!.
