Thinking about relocating to Valley City from Chicago

My family moved here when I was a kid. With a population of 6,554, Valley City is a small town. The median home value here is around $152,800, which is actually reasonable. The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
