Best neighborhoods in Sandy Oaks

First post here. I'm a 29-year-old data analyst and It's a a small town city with about 5,227 people. Rent is about $1,309/month for a decent place. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Public transit is solid here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's improved dramatically in recent years.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from San Diego and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Oak Park. It's excellent for what you get.

Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in healthcare. If you're in retail you might struggle.

People: Generally solid. It took about 18 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: average. Tons of options if you like Korean.

Definitely worth checking out..

As someone who grew up here, it exceeded my expectations. A lot has changed in the past few years though. food scene used to be much competitive but now it's excellent.

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

I've been living here for 6 years and I'd say I love the pace of life here. The cost of living is hit or miss compared to other places I've lived. Overall Hope this helps!.
