Hinsdale, IL
The good, the bad, and the ugly. -
8/14/2014Have lived here for five years and here are my observations (from both first-hand and anecdotal experiences):
Pros-lovely town, homes and yards well-kept, downtown area upscale and attractive, good schools, low crime, efficient mass transit, proximity to first-class cultural opportunities.
Cons-homes and property taxes very high, "keeping up with the Joneses" prevalent here, cliquish residents, some measure of fiscal and political irresponsibility (welcome to Illinois).
In short, a mixed bag. I have lived in many places and know that that has been the case everywhere I've lived. What you get out of your life depends on what your priorities are.
