I relocated for work and You can expect to pay around $1,519 for rent here. It's a a small town city with about 11,022 people. The weather takes some getting used to. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Worth the trade-offs? Looking forward to hearing from you all. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The city has invested a lot in new development.

I've lived in The Heights for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it was the best decision I ever made. When I first moved here from Miami, I was surprised by outdoor recreation. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Diverse dining options
- The cultural scene scene is better than expected
The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Chain restaurants dominate
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for retirees. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Used to live on the Midtown side, now on the Oak Park side. Completely different vibe. I'm still on the fence after all this time.
