Quick question about Lake Stickney

Random thought, I work in government and Rent is about $1,733/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 8.5%, which is pretty low. The weather takes some getting used to. Does this match your experience?

I've lived in East for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's exactly what I was looking for. When I first moved here from Chicago, I was surprised by traffic. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- The public transit scene is hit or miss

The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Road conditions need improvement

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for young professionals. Hope this helps!.

I work in legal here and I genuinely enjoy living here. The job market for my field is tough. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
