I could possibly relocating to either Aurora or Joliet Illinois for a job. I was wanting to see appx. what it costs to live in these areas. I am single with no family so a little place with hopefully a garage would be great. I would prefer just to rent a house but it all depends on cost. All who has some knowledge of these areas please chime in and let me know what is up.

 

You can find decent housing in Joliet, resale might not be that great depending on what school district you are in. It's decent area and we have a major speedway right in the backyard

 

Thanks keep em coming

 

somebody else has to have some input. I was also looking at New Lenox and Naperville

 

i personally would say to stay away from Aurora, thats were i spend most of my time, and i absolutely hate that city

 

Naperville is one of the most in-demand housing areas in the US. If you are looking for something less than $300K, it will be a condo or townhome.

 

I have a buddy that is a real estate agent and he lives right off of I55 & I80. He could help you out

 

Stay clear of New Lenox. The taxes on my condo are outrageous. I am moving to unincorporated Elwood in a few months.

 

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm looking more into renting than buying right now though.

 

Aurora and Oswego are pretty cheap.

 

aurora , of the two there id take oswego

 

oswego's nice, used to live there when ogden was just 2 lanes from montgomery rd. to route 71. now that i am gone it is finally getting some popular stores and restaruants

 

bunch of stuff has been going up, there's talk about building a mall on the corner of 30 and 34

 

Awesome information. Does anybody know how far Oswego is from the cat plant in Aurora?

 

depends on where in oswego you are, ranges from maybe 20minute drive to 2minute drive

 

anybody live in Bowling Brook?
