Review of Zion, Illinois


Historic Little Town
Star Rating - 5/26/2010
I spent part of my childhood in Zion, moved away for 10 years, then came back while commuting to SAIC in Chicago. The town hadn't changed much. But in the last couple years, there's been a concentrated effort to improve the city. That's included cleaning up certain neighborhoods, improving the downtown, and bringing in new businesses. It's a good place to live if you want a slightly lower cost of living (relative to the rest of the Chicago area) in a less urban environment, with easy access to the Chicago and Milwaukee areas.

For a small town, Zion has more than it's share of apartment complexes. Homeowners are hard pressed to maintain their property and safety. Most newly planted residents are 18 to 30 yrs old from Chicago with cavalier regard for suburban life. Frequent burglaries, teen violence, gun-fire. . .
