This is a question I've spent a lot of time thinking about, but I'm not satisfied with the options I've come up with. I work in Lake Forest IL, where the median home price is $800K, and my wife works in Winnetka IL, where the median home price is $1.2M. Nothing in the area seems to be affordable. We currently rent an apartment in Chicago and both take the same train to work, but it's a long commute.
Where would be the most mustachian place to live? We'd like to buy a house/condo soon, but the prices near where we each work are crazy. We like riding the train to work, but would also be up for biking to work. We hate car commuting, but that is a potential option if it's necessary and easy. Thanks a lot!
