True! I was amazed at the cost of living here when I was looking for an apt 2 years ago. I paid 450. a month for a huge 1 bedroom with a fireplace in a complex with a pool/jacuzzi, club house, and laundromat. There was a closed off space in the kitchen for a washer and dryer!
We bought a lovely 3 bedroom home with a fireplace and family room on a mountainside with a big deck for under 121,000. Move in condition.
In the area I lived outside Chicago I would have paid at least $250,000. for the same house. |
