Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a accountant who relocated here from San Diego about 10 years ago. The main reasons were family and family.

Pros I've experienced:
- Good schools in most areas
- Good internet infrastructure
- Strong sense of community

Cons that are real:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Far from beaches/mountains

Financially, we've found it challenging compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are stable, gas is excellent.

Socially, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Happy to answer more specific questions..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem surprisingly good.

I've been here 6 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is public transit. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the community vibe is legit. And if you're into fishing, this place is surprisingly good.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Lakewood side vs the Oak Park side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Definitely worth checking out..
