Hey everyone, We're a young couple and The median home value here is around $435,000, which is pretty steep. Median household income is $120,777, which feels pretty solid for the area. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

I've lived in Oak Park for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from San Diego, I was surprised by school system. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Nice parks and green spaces
- The cultural scene scene is average
The downsides:
- Limited entertainment options
- Far from beaches/mountains
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for remote workers. Definitely worth checking out..

Bought a house here in 2018 and I love the pace of life here. Property values have gone about the same since then.
