Freelancing from Warrenville -experience?

Anyone else feel this way? Rent is about $1,759/month for a decent place. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Is this normal for Warrenville? Appreciate any input. The city has invested a lot in new development. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 14 years ago from Miami and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Greenfield. It's challenging for what you get.

Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in retail. If you're in engineering you might struggle.

People: Generally pretty good. It took about 8 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: solid. Tons of options if you like Korean.

Hope this helps!.

I've lived in Cedar Grove for about 15 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Raleigh, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Good schools in most areas
- The nightlife scene is surprisingly good

The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Nightlife is limited

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for young professionals. Good luck with whatever you decide..
