Why I chose Granite City over bigger cities

I grew up here but left for a while. You can expect to pay around $761 for rent here. The city has invested a lot in new development. Would love some local perspective. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

We moved here with our family and it was the best decision I ever made. Schools in Cedar Grove area are solid. Kids love it here.

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