Longtime lurker here, The median home value here is around $802,200, which is pretty steep. Crime rate is something to consider -Wilmette sits at 33.0 per 100K. You can expect to pay around $1,968 for rent here. It's a a smaller city city with about 27,550 people. The city has invested a lot in new development. The weather takes some getting used to. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. What would you do? Appreciate any input. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The city has invested a lot in new development. The suburbs are where most families end up. The suburbs are where most families end up. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
