Alright, I'm a college student here and It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Cheers.

I've lived in Oak Park for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from San Diego, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Good healthcare facilities
- The housing market scene is average
The downsides:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Urban sprawl is real
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for remote workers. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
