Honest thoughts on life in Monmouth

jaxrider2022 Mar 7, 2025

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 10 years ago from San Diego and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Oak Park. It's decent for what you get.

Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in education. If you're in government you might struggle.

People: Generally better than expected. It took about 13 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: improving. Tons of options if you like seafood.

Feel free to reach out with questions..
