[quote=Anonymous]We live in a suburb (no I won't say which one) about 20 minutes southwest of Oak Park with good (not great) schools where a 3 bed, 2 bath home might sell for 300K or just under. We bought our home several years ago before the market rebounded for about half that. Taxes are under 8K a year. But yeah, we dealt with the cloth wiring too. And a bunch of other pain in the rear stuff. But that's home ownership. Yes, you can buy a condo in a nice area of the city that might have an okay public school for about 400-500K. But then your kid will have to try and test into a decent high school. Suburbs are far easier in terms of dealing with school. [/quote]
