Hello, Am I overthinking this? I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

I've lived in Oak Park for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Chicago, I was surprised by public transit. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Decent public transit for the size
- The community vibe scene is hit or miss
The downsides:
- Limited shopping options
- Dating scene is rough
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for couples. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
