What surprised you most about Joliet?

Not sure if this has been asked before, but Born and raised here. The unemployment rate is 4.0%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $248,600 on average. Rent is about $1,237/month for a decent place. The median home value here is around $248,600, which is actually reasonable. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Am I wrong here? Appreciate any input. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The city has invested a lot in new development. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

Public transit is pretty good here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's exactly what I was looking for.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want traffic, then yeah this place is great. But if safety matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
