I've lived in Oak Park for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Pittsburgh, I was surprised by cost of living. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Active local events and festivals
- The community vibe scene is pretty good

The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Bugs and humidity in summer

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for retirees. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I'm a marketing manager and I've found it exceeded my expectations. The community is hit or miss and there's always something going on.
