I've lived in Oak Park for about 4 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 school system. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Good healthcare facilities
- The public transit scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Can feel isolated
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for couples. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Came here for cost of living and stayed because it's exactly what I was looking for. The housing market is honestly pretty good and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
