Not sure if this has been asked before, but We have two kids and Median household income is $63,397, which feels about average for the area. The median home value here is around $363,100, which seems about average. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

I've lived in Oak Park for about 1 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it was the best decision I ever made. When I first moved here from Boston, I was surprised by outdoor recreation. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Lots of new development happening
- The safety scene is improving
The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Chain restaurants dominate
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for families. Feel free to reach out with questions..

it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from Baltimore, I was surprised by public transit. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Good internet infrastructure

The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for retirees. No regrets on my end..

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I have mixed feelings honestly. Internet is excellent in most areas.

I've been living here for 1 years and I'd say I genuinely enjoy living here. The pet-friendliness is pretty good compared to other places I've lived. Overall Hope this helps!.
