Living in Illinois

Located in the heart of the Midwest, Illinois offers a little something for everyone. It's home to the bustling metropolitan area of Chicago, which is the third-largest city in the country. There are many charming nearby suburbs, including Homewood, Evanston, and Naperville, which was voted among the best places to live and raise a family. So, there are tons of great neighborhoods where you can choose to settle down.

Chicago sits along the shores of Lake Michigan, which gives you incredible views from the high-rise buildings scattered across the city. If you want to get away from the city entirely, you can also go hiking or biking in popular state parks like Mattiesian and Starved Rock.

The diversity in Illinois means that you'll have no problem immersing yourself in a rich cultural scene. You can try authentic global flavors, from top taco shops to Chinatown's spiciest Sichuan dishes. And, of course, you can't forget about trying the iconic deep dish pizza, which was invented right in the city of Chicago.

Beyond food, there's an abundance of famous performance venues and museums to explore. You can spend your day visiting the Art Institute of Chicago or the Field Museum, and then catch an award-winning Goodman Theatre show at night.

The weather in Illinois can be quite variable. The southern parts of the state have milder winters than the northern parts, but overall, the state experiences four distinct seasons. Summers can reach an average high of 86 degrees, and winters reach an average low of 17 degrees.

In addition to offering nursing wages that are comparable to other states, Illinois also has a cost of living index that's 6.3% lower than the national average. This means that you can likely find affordable prices for housing and other everyday necessities.
