Biggest downsides of living in Orland Hills?
I'm retired and The unemployment rate is 3.7%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 51--F, so expect cold winters. Household incomes average around $118,281 in Orland Hills. With a population of 6,758, Orland Hills is a small town. Rent is about $1,373/month for a decent place. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
Pros:

- Low crime in most areas
- Close to nature
- Easy commute
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Lack of diversity
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Not enough green space
