What the job prospects looking like and How far is it to commute to Chicago??

for every a$$hole I met from that area, I met way more decent, easy going people.

Country Club Hills is a mix of people with bread, section 8, young families, retirees etc.

not much to do out that way, but I get why people like the peace and quiet.

It’s only a 30 to 40 minute drive to downtown Chicago but everyone takes the metra train to work to avoid traffic

I didn’t know you was that way

But yeah like you said those areas got nice cribs but property tax high . It certain spots like Matteson /university park /Olympia fields the stores etc are very limited . Especially Matteson damn shame how they fell off. These spots should at least be on Crestwood level as far as businesses .

And being close to 57 is definitely a plus for those commuting to the city

Who said that everybody on here who is really black knows that it’s some nice black suburban areas in the south suburbs
