Thinking Orland Park? Consider this.
My family and I have been living in Orland Park for 7 years. Orland Park is a mostly conservative suburb in the Chicagoland area. The mayor does a good job in trying to separate Orland Park from the corrupt Chicago and IL politics. However, cost of living is high due to the ridiculously high property taxes and 10% crook county sales tax (thanks to Chicago and IL political corruption). A family would need to make approx. $60k min to live in this area.
Winters are ridiculously cold due to high humidity. The nice thing is that it rains more than it snows. Ice storms do occur and that makes the roads super icy. However, when it snows, expect it sticking for about a good month. The snow does not melt because it is bitterly cold.
Positives: Family oriented, mildly conservative
Negatives: Chicago and IL corrupt politics. high taxes, high cost of living
