Curious what people think. I relocated for work and Household incomes average around $98,648 in Land O' Lakes. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Worth the trade-offs? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.
I've been here 1 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is cultural scene. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the walkability is legit. And if you're into running, this place is better than expected.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Midtown side vs the Oak Park side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Hope this helps!.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is housing market. it exceeded my expectations. Worth doing your research before committing.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 2-bedroom. it's not perfect but it works for me. Compared to San Francisco it's average.
