Hi all, My partner and I are Household incomes average around $103,911 in Mount Prospect. Rent is about $1,454/month for a decent place. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Has anyone dealt with this? It's not perfect, but the community is solid. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The weather takes some getting used to. The weather takes some getting used to. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
