Getting Around Chicago:
Spanning 234 square miles, Chicago is easier to navigate than you might think. The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) offers a wide network of buses and “L” trains that make car-free living practical in most neighborhoods. If you’re relocating to areas like Lincoln Park, Downtown, or Wicker Park, parking can be tricky. You may need a Residential Parking Permit or a Temporary Moving Permit for your truck—these are available via the City of Chicago website.

Outdoor Spaces and Recreation:
Living in Chicago means easy access to stunning outdoor areas. Lake Michigan’s Lakefront Trail stretches over 18 miles for walking, biking, and running. The city also boasts Grant Park, Millennium Park, and the family-friendly Lincoln Park Zoo. For weekend escapes, Starved Rock State Park is a favorite among locals. You’ll find more options through Illinois State Parks.

Cost of Living in Chicago:
Compared to cities like NYC or San Francisco, Chicago is more affordable—but it’s still a major metro. As of this year, median home prices are around $315,000, and average rent for a 1-bedroom hovers near $1,850. Keep in mind: Chicago’s sales tax is 10.25%, and the state income tax is 4.95%. Budgeting ahead can make your move smoother and smarter.

The Windy City is legendary for sports and culture. Catch the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, the Bears at Soldier Field, and the Bulls or Blackhawks at the United Center.
