I have a friend who's lived in LaGrange Park for about...gosh, 12 or so years now. It's a small bungalow they paid $200K for and it's appraised at over $500K now - not cheap (at least to me). Tiny yard and a garage so small they can't fit the big 4 door sedan or Tahoe in it.

Of course, if you're comparing prices to San Diego, they ARE cheap ;)

From everything I've been looking at, Chicago is anywhere from half the price to a third of the price of San Diego. That is cheap.

Right now I'm just looking at options. I've always loved Chicago.
