Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want pet-friendliness, then yeah this place is great. But if outdoor recreation matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem hit or miss.
I've been here 13 years and it was the best decision I ever made. The thing nobody mentions is job market. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the food scene is legit. And if you're into fishing, this place is hit or miss.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Oak Park side vs the West side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
