Most overrated things about West Dundee
Hey everyone, I work in engineering and The median home value here is around $342,900, which seems about average. Homes are going for about $342,900 on average. It's a a small town city with about 7,867 people. Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. Crime rate is something to consider -West Dundee sits at 35.8 per 100K. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The weather takes some getting used to. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Close to nature
- Diverse community
- Easy commute
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Limited dining options
- Homelessness issues downtown
