Not sure if this has been asked before, but I'm originally from San Francisco and Crime rate is something to consider -Searles Valley sits at 409.3 per 100K. Homes are going for about $68,500 on average. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. What do you all think?

I've lived in Oak Park for about 15 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's exactly what I was looking for. When I first moved here from Tampa, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Strong job market in several industries
- The cultural scene scene is surprisingly good
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for remote workers. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
