My family and I recently moved to Manhattan from Tinley Park because we wanted a little bit more peace and quiet, as well as land. The first thing we fell in love with was the small town country charm, and how friendly everyone is! Every single person we encountered, either driving around or walking through neighborhoods, always stopped to say hello and chat. The schools are great, and I’m looking forward to my youngest attending soon as well.
Manhattan is a very friendly town, wonderful to raise children in. It's a small town so in the school district all the kids know each other. There is plenty of space to explore the beautiful farm scenery. Additionally, one will get a small town feel but if they want a nightlife the bordering towns are not a far drive. There is not many jobs, mostly just jobs for high school kids. A very safe atmosphere. The teachers are highly qualified and try to help your child with any of their difficulties.
Small town country feel but short drive to everything. Property taxes are high compared to nearby towns because there are only a few businesses but housing cost is about $20k-$50k less than surrounding towns. Excellent schools. Quiet and extremely safe area. Good mix of new construction and older homes. Walking trails and Round Barn park for outdoor enjoyment. Irish fest a couple of weeks before St. Patrick's day and cruise nights on Mondays in the summer. Local farmers market as well. Lots of farmland with subdivisions scattered throughout.
