The good and bad of living in Minooka
OK so I'm originally from Baltimore and Median household income is $122,163, which feels pretty solid for the area. Crime rate is something to consider -Minooka sits at 62.7 per 100K. The unemployment rate is 3.3%, which is pretty low. Poverty rate is 0.7%, which is pretty low. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Good job market
- Close to nature
- Strong sense of community
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Cold winters
- Limited nightlife
- Chain restaurants dominate
