I've lived in Oak Park for about 1 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
the quality of life is solid. When I first moved here from Seattle, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Four distinct seasons
- The dating scene scene is decent
The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for remote workers. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 3 years ago from Miami and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Midtown. It's surprisingly good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in marketing. If you're in consulting you might struggle.
People: Generally tough. It took about 8 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: average. Tons of options if you like Korean.
Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
