Anyone else love living in Utica?

Longtime lurker here, The median home value here is around $133,400, which is actually reasonable. You can expect to pay around $907 for rent here. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Does this match your experience? The suburbs are where most families end up. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

I've lived in Oak Park for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from Miami, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Close to major attractions
- The dating scene scene is excellent

The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Road conditions need improvement

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for retirees. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
