I've lived in Oak Park for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's been a really good experience overall. When I first moved here from Pittsburgh, I was surprised by healthcare. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Good schools in most areas
- The healthcare scene is surprisingly good
The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for couples. Good luck with whatever you decide..
