Random thought, I'm a 45-year-old graphic designer and Median household income is $94,690, which feels pretty solid for the area. With a population of 76,780, Schaumburg is a smaller city. Average temperature is around 50--F, so expect cold winters. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The suburbs are where most families end up. Thoughts? The city has invested a lot in new development. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 13 years ago from Phoenix and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Eastside. It's decent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in real estate. If you're in real estate you might struggle.
People: Generally hit or miss. It took about 6 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: solid. Tons of options if you like Vietnamese.
No regrets on my end..

Weather-wise, the summers are hit or miss and winters are reasonable. You get used to it after the first year.
