Anyone else feel this way? I've been here for 6 years and Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. The unemployment rate is 2.4%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $1,508/month for a decent place. The median home value here is around $244,900, which is actually reasonable. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Is this normal for McHenry? Appreciate any input. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
