Considering Newark vs Chicago -help me decide
Hey folks, Average temperature is around 56--F, so the weather is moderate. Am I overthinking this?

I've been living here for 14 years and I'd say the quality of life is solid. The cultural scene is improving compared to other places I've lived. Overall Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is public transit. the quality of life is solid. Worth doing your research before committing.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem improving.
I've been here 1 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is public transit. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the pet-friendliness is legit. And if you're into running, this place is decent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Greenfield side vs the Midtown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want job market, then yeah this place is great. But if job market matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Bought a house here in 2024 and the quality of life is solid. Property values have gone up a bit since then.
