Is Oak Park still affordable?

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it's been a really good experience overall. Internet is tough in most areas.

I've been living here for 13 years and I'd say the quality of life is solid. The outdoor recreation is underrated compared to other places I've lived. Overall Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Weather-wise, the summers are tough and winters are established. You get used to it after the first year.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it was the best decision I ever made. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Hot take but the quality of life is solid. I know a lot of people disagree but after 9 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 2-bedroom. it exceeded my expectations. Compared to Phoenix it's underrated.
