Best kept secrets of Rossville, IL

Alright, I relocated for work and Poverty rate is 9.2%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 52--F, so expect cold winters. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The weather takes some getting used to. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

I've lived in Downtown for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

the quality of life is solid. When I first moved here from Seattle, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Strong job market in several industries
- The school system scene is hit or miss

The downsides:
- Property taxes are high
- Not a lot of cultural diversity

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for families. Feel free to reach out with questions..
