10 Best Illinois Cities

OK, for what it's worth.....

a company called Movoto Real Estate has ranked Illinois cities based on a variety of criteria:
- amenities
- cost of living
- crime
- education
- employment
- home value

and the results?


The top 10 -- all of which happen to be in the Chicago area:
- Northbrook
- Highland Park
- Glenview
- Park Ridge
- Elmhurst
- Wheaton
- Arlington Heights
- Downers Grove
- Palatine
- Mount Prospect

Why did they choose these 10?

You'll also see the rest of the top 50 list there.


As far as downstate cities go:
#11 Normal
#14 Bloomington
#19 Champaign
#28 Urbana
#31 Springfield

And #44..... DECATUR!!
Whoop whoop!!

Decatur's rank by category:
- amenities  25
- cost of living  8
- crime  42
- education  34
- employment  43
- home value  48

Check out the great info.  I was surprised not to see Greenville, Fairview Heights, or Charleston.


Out for now....
