Quality of Life
I have lived in Aurora, or nearby, for 22 years. As with any community, it has changes with the times. Quality of life can only be determined by the individual, not by an organization or survey. Organizations and surveys can only provide statistics. Quality of life goes beyond statistics.
There is sufficient retail and culture in the Aurora area to satisfy most anybody. Chicago is less than an hour east for those seeking more. Traffic is heavy, prices are higher than most other cities, and there is a very diverse population. For the newcomer, it will either be wonderful, or chaotic.
I moved here 22 years ago with the intention of staying 5 years. I'm still here, and I'm from a small farming community downstate. Give it a try. The quality of life is only what you make it.
