Cheapest neighborhoods in Waukegan?
Longtime lurker here, With a population of 88,919, Waukegan is a smaller city. Any advice would be great.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I'm still on the fence after all this time. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a chef who relocated here from Phoenix about 15 years ago. The main reasons were family and work.
Pros I've experienced:
- Affordable housing options
- Diverse dining options
- Strong sense of community
Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Not very walkable outside downtown
Financially, we've found it hit or miss compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are developing, gas is pretty good.
Socially, I love the pace of life here. Good luck with whatever you decide..
