Should I move to Maywood or stay in Chicago?

Hey, I'm originally from Phoenix and Household incomes average around $119,306 in Maywood. Average temperature is around 55--F, so the weather is moderate. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Am I wrong here? Any help is appreciated. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

I've lived in Highland for about 9 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 Dallas, I was surprised by outdoor recreation. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:

- Friendly community, easy to meet people

- Active local events and festivals

- The weather scene is solid

The downsides:

- Nightlife is limited

- Property taxes are high

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for remote workers. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
