Is Park Ridge walkable?
Hello, It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a sales manager who relocated here from Dallas about 4 years ago. The main reasons were quality of life and cost of living.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Active local events and festivals
Cons that are real:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Limited high-paying job options
Financially, we've found it solid compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are growing, gas is decent.
Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

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