Alright, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Homes are going for about $209,300 on average. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

As someone who grew up here, I genuinely enjoy living here. A lot has changed in the past few years though. traffic used to be much reasonable but now it's decent.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from Charlotte and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Oak Park. It's surprisingly good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in real estate. If you're in real estate you might struggle.
People: Generally decent. It took about 3 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: solid. Tons of options if you like Mediterranean.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

I work in finance here and it exceeded my expectations. The job market for my field is tough. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
