Cost of living reality check -New Lenox
Been meaning to ask this. Poverty rate is 1.7%, which is pretty low. The median home value here is around $377,500, which seems about average. Rent is about $1,244/month for a decent place. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The suburbs are where most families end up. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
