Anyone else love living in North Chicago?
Hey folks, The median home value here is around $147,800, which is actually reasonable. It's a a smaller city city with about 30,772 people. Median household income is $56,815, which feels about average for the area. Rent is about $1,392/month for a decent place. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.
Pros:
- Growing food scene
- Easy commute
- Walkable downtown
- Plenty of shopping options
- Active local events
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Limited nightlife
- Limited dining options
