That said, I think for those of us who have been around for awhile, $3k+ to rent a 2 bedroom is quite a jump from how things were just a few years ago. I'm considering moving out to the burbs for kids and stuff, but that's only because I've started to slowly accept that I just can't responsibly afford to raise a family in the city. Your last paragraph alludes to this.

Check out Oak Park - taxes are high but that acts as a filter making it one big magnet school(district). The property appreciates very well.
