Cheapest neighborhoods in Streator?

Longtime lurker here, Rent is about $779/month for a decent place. The median home value here is around $88,000, which is actually reasonable. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Thoughts? Property taxes are high but you get good services. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Public transit is hit or miss here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I have mixed feelings honestly.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 1-bedroom. I genuinely enjoy living here. Compared to Charlotte it's improving.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Happy to answer more specific questions..
