Best hidden gems in Kankakee
Longtime lurker here, I work in finance and Household incomes average around $45,119 in Kankakee. With a population of 24,384, Kankakee is a small town. You can expect to pay around $986 for rent here. The unemployment rate is 4.2%, which is about average. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Lots of new development
- Strong sense of community
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Rising rent prices
- Poor road conditions
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Far from major airports
