Been meaning to ask this. The median home value here is around $539,300, which is pretty steep. You can expect to pay around $1,511 for rent here. Household incomes average around $138,059 in Park Ridge. With a population of 39,241, Park Ridge is a smaller city. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The suburbs are where most families end up. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

Cons:
