Rent in Wheaton getting crazy

OK so I'm a teacher here and Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. Rent is about $1,731/month for a decent place. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. What would you do?

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem solid.

I've been here 2 years and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The thing nobody mentions is safety. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the housing market is legit. And if you're into fishing, this place is tough.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Westside side vs the Fairview side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 1-bedroom. it was the best decision I ever made. Compared to Minneapolis it's underrated.
