Longtime lurker here, With a population of 107K, Hillsboro is a mid-size city. Median household income is $103,207, which feels pretty solid for the area. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Let me know your thoughts.

Used to live on the Springfield side, now on the Cedar Grove side. Completely different vibe. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.

I've lived in Oak Park for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Phoenix, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Active local events and festivals
- The traffic scene is improving
The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Limited shopping options
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for remote workers. Hope this helps!.
