Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem better than expected.

I've been here 11 years and it's exactly what I was looking for. The thing nobody mentions is weather. It's affordable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the weather is legit. And if you're into camping, this place is tough.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Oak Park side vs the East side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Bought a house here in 2017 and I have mixed feelings honestly. Property values have gone about the same since then.

We moved here with our family and it's improved dramatically in recent years. Schools in Sunset area are underrated. Kids love it here.
