Starting a business in Matteson?
Hey folks, The weather takes some getting used to. Should I be concerned? Thanks in advance!

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a lawyer who relocated here from Raleigh about 9 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and quality of life.
Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Good healthcare facilities
- Diverse dining options
Cons that are real:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Not very walkable outside downtown
Financially, we've found it solid compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are growing, gas is pretty good.
Socially, it exceeded my expectations. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

My experience has been mostly positive. I love the pace of life here. The only thing I'd watch out for is public transit. Other than that, No regrets on my end..
