We’ve been in this area only since January of 2018, but have been snowbirding for 10 years. I’ve loved having two places; visiting family, friends, getting my city fix, and then coming here to relax for the winter. That said, we’re going back to Chicago later this week, and will be putting our small 3-flat up for sale. We love our hometown, and as nice as it is to have a home of our own there, we just can’t help but worry about furnaces, sump pumps, tenants paying on time, and the state of Illinois and city of Chicago taxes and fees. The time has come for a new chapter.

Everyone’s different, and some may not mind the summer heat, but if you’re thinking of making the move to living here permanently, I’d advise staying through a summer. It’s a whole different level of hot.....like hell’s waiting room! Good luck. 🍀
