Why I chose Orland Hills over bigger cities
Random thought, I've been here for 7 years and Homes are going for about $262,600 on average. It's a a small town city with about 6,758 people. The median home value here is around $262,600, which seems about average. You can expect to pay around $1,373 for rent here. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The city has invested a lot in new development. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The weather takes some getting used to. The suburbs are where most families end up.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good internet infrastructure
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Limited public transit
- Limited dining options
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Limited cultural events
