From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are improving, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 11 years ago from Baltimore and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Oak Park. It's challenging for what you get.
Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in engineering. If you're in real estate you might struggle.
People: Generally average. It took about 5 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like craft beer.
It's not for everyone but it works for us..

We moved here with our family and it was the best decision I ever made. Schools in Lakewood area are hit or miss. Kids love it here.
