[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, anyone NOT from Chicago go live there and able to compare to DC area? Preferably with a family in a SFH.[/quote] Yes, I'm not from Chicago, neither is DH and we lived there for 7 years before moving here. Had no friends or family in Chicago--no social ties there. We lived in an apartment there the whole time, but our rent was more than half of what we paid our first year here in the city for the same type of apartment. Cost of living is lower there, food is better, museums are much more expensive, and I felt there wasn't as much to do there as there is here. We love the outdoor activities, weather, places to drive to on the weekends, nearby beaches (well, 3 hours but that doesn't seem that far), and free cultural attractions here. Chicago was nice, and I definitely miss the food, but we much prefer here and have no plans to move back.[/quote]
